Reducing Respiratory Artifacts in Heart Rate Variability during Functional Food Intake Using ECG‐Derived Respiration

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 413-420, March 2026.
Heart rate variability (HRV) has been analyzed to assess the effects of food on autonomic nervous activity, but HRV is reportedly influenced by respiration. Reducing respiratory artifacts in HRV analysis requires respiratory signals. In this study, we estimated respiratory signals from electrocardiogram (ECG), compared these signals with actual ...
