Abstract
Evidence for respiratory waves in blood pressure was first presented by Ludwig in 1847. More recently these fluctuations have become known as Mayer waves (Penaz, 1978); the wave of respiratory origin is now called variously the third order Mayer wave, the 10 second wave or the 0.1 Hz component. The presence of these waves in heart-rate variability has been described by a number of authors, for example, Sayers (1973). Respiration can also be thought of as an oscillation (Bradley et al., 1975; Fincham and Liassides, 1978).
