Characterization of complex heart rate dynamics and their pharmacological disorders by non-linear prediction and special data transformations.

abstract：AIMS:Statins have beneficial vascular effects beyond their cholesterol-lowering action. Since macrophages play a central role in atherogenesis, we characterized the effects of simvastatin on gene expression profile of human peripheral blood monocyte (HPBM)-macrophages. METHODS AND RESULTS:Gene expression profile was s...
