English abstract:
The present study concerns the relevance of the spectrum-weighted frequencies of both heart rate variability (HRV) and electroencephalogram (EEG). The frequencies represent the balance point of power within a certain spectral range. The predictive value of the frequencies and their mutual interrelations are demonstrated with respect to different sleep stages based on data from a single case. In particular, revealed stage-dependant relationships between frequencies from HRV and EEG suggest a close interrelation between autonomic cardiovascular control and activity of central nervous system. The results show that the easy-to-assess frequencies may yield a simple indicator of the sleep quality within the scope of comfortable patient monitoring.
