The European Study Group on Cardiovascular Oscillations (ESGCO) since its creation in 1998 has been providing an interdisciplinary forum for discussion among researchers from various areas of science, including medicine, physics, mathematics and computer science with their subdisciplines.

The 12th conference of the European Study Group on Cardiovascular Oscillations, ESGCO 2022, will focus on a wide range of topics ranging from basic research of cardiovascular oscillations to the clinical application of ever-developing cardiovascular signals analysis tools. The conference will try to encompass widest range of topics related to cardiovascular oscillations, starting with the analysis of various input signals (ECG derived beat to beat measures, blood pressure recordings, impedance cardiography derived measures, blood flow and phonocardiography recordings, etc.). The uni-, bi- or multivariate analysis of these signals and their mutual connections or their interconnections with respiratory or brain activities on a wide range of time scales (from seconds to circannual rhythm) will be also presented. The conference topics include the influence of age ranging from fetal development to senescence, the influence of stress ranging from physical through cognitive to social stress. From clinical point of view, we await the contributions related to the influence of various pathological states on cardiovascular system control, cardiorespiratory interactions, and brain-heart interplay in the various areas of medicine (neonatology, neurology, cardiology, psychiatry, infectology, anestesiology, etc.).
