Nevrokard® LT-aHRV is a software package designed to perform analysis of segmented ECG data (from 1 min. up to 120 hrs (5 days)) in the time and frequency domains. It is complementary to Nevrokard® aHRV Analysis software which works on files of the same length, but performs somewhat different types of analysis with more emphasis on the time domain and does not use file segments. It consists of two software modules:
|
|
An ECG file recorded by any acquisition system or an ASCII RR interval table file is required. The software is compatible with ECG and RRI files in several different formats (see Data Formats). |
Detection of R waves, calculation of RR intervals: |
ECG and RRI files may be edited: |
All time-domain displays and calculations will be done either in the RR or HR mode |
Premature heart beats can be edited out of RRI files manually or automatically. The number of preceding beats on which correction is based, the parameters defining abnormal beats and the method of correction (deletion, interpolation) can be selected. |
TIME DOMAIN ANALYSIS |
Either whole recordings or zoomed segments of recordings can be analyzed both in time and frequency domains. Segments may be either adjacent (continuous) or overlapping; the user selects the segment length (in time units) and the number of FFT data points for spectral analysis. If overlapping of segments is enabled, any percentage of overlapping between 1 and 100 percent can be selected in steps of 1 percent. |
