Detection of autonomic modulation in permanent atrial fibrillation
A new signal processing method for the detection of cyclic variations in atrial fibrillation frequency is presented. The objective was to investigate whether or not respiration, through the autonomic nervous system, modulates the fibrillation frequency in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. A group of eight patients with permanent atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block III and a perm
