Background:

Arrhythmia analysis is crucial for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
Current methods may lack efficiency in characterizing certain arrhythmia properties.
Holter electrocardiograms provide valuable long-term heart rhythm data.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a successive RR interval plot for arrhythmia analysis.
To assess the utility of this plot in identifying and characterizing arrhythmias.
To explore its potential as a clinical diagnostic tool.

Main Methods:

A successive RR interval plot was created, plotting the Nth RR interval against the (N+1)th RR interval.
The method was applied to Holter electrocardiogram data from 35 patients.

Analysis focused on ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) and atrial fibrillation.

Main Results:

The successive RR plot successfully detected VPCs.
It revealed coupling interval-dependent characteristics of VPCs.
The plot facilitated estimation of the functional refractory period in atrial fibrillation.

Conclusions:

The successive RR plot is a simple yet powerful tool for arrhythmia analysis.
Its ability to analyze coupling interval-dependent properties is clinically attractive.
This method offers integral analysis of various arrhythmia types.
