Figure 5.33 3D and contour plot <strong>of</strong> blood pressure spectrum using Haar wavelet.<br />

Figures 5.34 — 5.43 display the 5-minute BPV activity plots <strong>of</strong> a COPD subject at<br />

rest breathing at 16 breaths per minute using the Morlet, Meyer, Daubechies 4, Mexican<br />

Hat and Haar wavelet. The figures present the non-normalized and the normalized low<br />

frequency, the high frequency and the ratio <strong>of</strong> low frequency to high frequency activity<br />

plots. At rest, the trend <strong>of</strong> the relative power is much higher in the high frequency range<br />

than in the low frequency range. However, the parasympathetic relative power cycles<br />

from high to low in two minutes and then repeats. While the LF and HF plots are<br />

different, the plots <strong>of</strong> the ratio <strong>of</strong> the LF to HF for BPV are similar to those ratio plots for<br />

HRV <strong>of</strong> the same COPD subject.
