Investigation of Delay Time in Interaction between the Regulatory Circuits in the Cardiovascular System of Healthy Humans Using Modeling of Phase Dynamics

Background and Objectives: Low-frequency oscillations with a basic frequency of about 0.1 Hz are observed in the human heart rate and peripheral microcirculation. It is found out that these processes are self-oscillatory and interact between themselves. However, the details and characteristics of this interaction including the direction of coupling and delays in coupling functions are not well studied yet.
