Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease, defined by motor neuron loss, muscle paralysis, and death. ALS individuals often present alterations in cardiovascular function that may evolve into heart failure and death. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key players in ALS…

Respiratory dysfunction, particularly central apnea, accompanied by cardiac abnormalities are proposed to be the underlying causes of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). Apnea in SUDEP is characterised by prologued hypercapnia with severe hypoventilation. We propose that this implies an impairment at the…

This study delves into an examination of heart rhythm patterns among patients afflicted with disorders of consciousness. The research primarily focuses on the analysis of polysomnographic recordings in the time domain while also exploring methodologies for evaluating peripheral signals. An algorithm aimed at detecting…
