Variations of human heart rate and blood pressure, i. e. cardiovascular oscillations, naturally occur in the high-frequency (HF) regime due to influences of the repiratory process. Also at lower frequencies (LF regime) variations can be found but the specific underlying mechanisms are still subject to discussion. We study the phase synchronisation properties of heart rate and blood pressure time series. Firstly, we decompose the frequency spectrum of cardiovascular signals into overlapping bands of logarithmically equal width. Within each band the synchronisation of the signal with a time-shifted copy, as well as the synchronisation between different signals is analysed in order to determine differences between the HF and LF range. In addition, the prognostic power of these methods is evaluated in patients that survived a myocardial infarction.
