Nonlinear Interaction Analysis of Cardiovascular-Respiratory Data by Means of Convergent Cross Mapping

Appropriate analyses of directed complex interactions within the cardiovascular-respiratory system are of growing interest for a better understanding of physiological regulatory mechanisms in healthy subjects and diseased persons. There are various concepts to analyze such interactions. Convergent Cross Mapping (CCM) provides the possibility to define directed interactions in terms of nonlinear stability. A proof-of-principle approach is introduced to apply CCM to cardiovascular-respiratory data of healthy subjects during resting state period. Showing group results of time-invariant as well as single subject results of interval-based CCM, the introduced approach was able to quantify correct directionality and strength of interactions within the cardiovascular-respiratory system and to provide statistical thresholds for significant interactions. These results may serve as a methodological base to compare healthy subjects and diseased persons.
