| Abstract |
Objective: To characterize the multifractal behavior of the beat to beat heart-period or RR fluctuations in fibromyalgia patients (FM) in comparison with healthy-matched subjects. Methods: Multifractral detrended fluctuation analysis (MDFA) was used to study multifractality in heartbeat times-series from 30 female healthy subjects and 30 female patients with fibromyalgia during day and night periods.The multifractal changes as derived from the magnitude and sign analysis of these RR fluctuations were also assessed. Results: The RR fluctuations dynamics of healthy subjects showed a broad multifractal spectrum. By contrast, a noticeable decrease in multifractality and non-linearity was observed for patients with fibromyalgia. In addition, the spectra corresponding to FM subjects were located on the average to the right of the spectra of healthy individuals, indicating that the local scaling exponents reflect a smoother behavior compared to healthy dynamics. Moreover, the multifractal analysis as applied to the magnitude and sign heartbeat series confirmed that, in addition to a decreased nonlinearity, fibromyalgia patients presented stronger anticorrelation in directionality, which did not remain invariant for small or rather larger fluctuations as it occurred in healthy subjects. Conclusion: When compared to healthy controls, fibromyalgia patients display decreased nonlinearity and stronger anticorrelations in heart period fluctuations. These findings reinforce the hypothesis of the potential role of the dysfunctional autonomic nervous system in the pathogenesis of fibromyalgia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 September 2018.
All research outputs
#7,325,864
of 23,098,660 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#3,523
of 13,846 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#126,588
of 333,245 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#178
of 493 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,098,660 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,846 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,245 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 493 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
