A continuous wavelet transform-based method outperformed traditional short-time Fourier-transform analysis in tracking fast variations and handling low respiratory frequencies on synthetic data.
Continuous wavelet transform offers a superior methodological approach compared to Fourier-transform for analyzing respiratory sinus arrhythmia, particularly in conditions with low respiratory frequencies or fast signal variations.

May enhance respiratory sinus arrhythmia analysis under variable conditions; leaves open validation in clinical datasets.
A continuous wavelet transform-based method is presented to study the nonstationary strength and phase delay of the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). The RSA is the cyclic variation of instantaneous heart rate at the breathing frequency. In studies of cardio-respiratory interaction during sleep, paced breathing or postural changes, low respiratory frequencies, and fast changes can occur. Comparison on synthetic data presented here shows that the proposed method outperforms traditional short-time Fourier-transform analysis in these conditions. On the one hand, wavelet analysis presents a sufficient frequency-resolution to handle low respiratory frequencies, for which time frames should be long in Fourier-based analysis. On the other hand, it is able to track fast variations of the signals in both amplitude and phase for which time frames should be short in Fourier-based analysis.
