    This study presents an ECG measurement program for analyzing short sinus rhythm tracings. It quantitatively characterizes sinus tachycardia and bradycardia using RR intervals and a novel pseudo-PR interval estimation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Accurate quantitative analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings is crucial for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias.
    • Sinus rhythm variations like tachycardia and bradycardia require precise characterization for effective patient management.
    • Traditional ECG analysis faces challenges in automated beat detection and measurement, particularly for P waves.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and rigorously evaluate an ECG measurement program for quantitative characterization of sinus rhythm, including tachycardia and bradycardia.
    • To establish methods for assessing the regularity and stability of R-R intervals in short ECG tracings.
    • To introduce a novel pseudo-PR interval estimation technique for characterizing sinus rhythm types.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 10-second ECG tracings using a validated ECG measurement program.
    • Quantitative evaluation of R-wave train regularity using normalized differences between successive RR intervals.
    • Determination of R-wave train stability via the ratio of maximum and minimum RR interval durations.
    • Estimation of a pseudo-PR interval from P and R wave train features to overcome challenges in automatic P-wave detection.

    Main Results:

    • The program successfully performed quantitative characterization of sinus rhythm, including tachycardia and bradycardia, on short ECG tracings.
    • Regularity and stability metrics derived from RR intervals provided key insights into R-wave train characteristics.
    • The pseudo-PR interval estimation demonstrated its utility as a characteristic for different types of sinus rhythm.
    • The developed methods were rigorously evaluated, indicating their reliability for clinical application.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed ECG measurement program offers a robust and quantitative method for analyzing sinus rhythm variations.
    • The approach effectively addresses limitations in automated P-wave detection by utilizing a pseudo-PR interval.
    • This quantitative characterization of sinus tachycardia and bradycardia using RR intervals and pseudo-PR intervals aids in precise diagnosis and management.
