Using spectral continuity to extract breathing rate from heart rate and its applications in sleep physiology.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: ECG Derived Respiration (EDR) are a set of methods used for extracting the breathing rate from the Electrocardiogram (ECG). Recent studies revealed a tight connection between breathing rate and more specifically the breathing patterns during sleep and several related pathologies. Yet, while breathing rate and more specifically the breathing pattern is recognised as a vital sign it is less employed than Electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate in sleep and polysomnography studies. Methods: This study utilised open-access data from the ISRUC sleep database to test a novel spectral-based EDR technique (scEDR). In contrast to previous approaches, the novel method emphasizes spectral continuity and not only the power of the different spectral peaks. scEDR is then
