Abstract

We introduce a recently developed nonlinear-type time–frequency analysis tool, synchrosqueezing transform (SST), to quantify complicated and noisy physiological waveform that has time-varying amplitude and frequency. We apply it to analyze a peripheral venous pressure (PVP) signal recorded during a seven hours aortic valve replacement procedure. In addition to showing the captured dynamics, we also quantify how accurately we can estimate the instantaneous heart rate from the PVP signal.

1
When we are concerned with the statistical properties, the stationarity is defined to have a zero mean and the covariance between any two time points only depends on the time difference. We do not pursue this kind of stationarity in this work.
 
2
The power spectrum is usually defined as the magnitude squared of the Fourier transform of a given signal. In this paper, to avoid the normalization issue, we call the magnitude of the Fourier transform of a given signal the power spectrum.
