Background:

Artifacts are prevalent in cardiac RR interval data, complicating heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.
Accurate HRV assessment relies on clean, artifact-free RR interval data.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and validate a novel algorithm for detecting and interpolating artifacts in RR interval data.
To assess the impact of artifact removal on time and frequency domain HRV metrics.

Main Methods:

Developed a 3D spatial distribution mapping algorithm for artifact detection and interpolation.
Validated the algorithm using artificial RR interval data with controlled artifact levels (0.5%-10%).
Assessed the algorithm's performance on 69 human 24-h cardiac recordings and its impact on 10 HRV metrics.

Main Results:

Achieved high sensitivity (0.84) and specificity (1.00) in artifact removal for both artificial and human cardiac data.
Artifact removal resulted in minimal changes to HRV metrics (0%-2.5% variation).
The algorithm successfully removed artifacts without significantly altering physiological data.

Conclusions:

The novel preprocessing tool effectively removes artifacts from 24-h cardiac recordings.
The tool minimally impacts physiological data, preserving the integrity of HRV measures.
This algorithm offers a reliable solution for improving the quality of HRV analysis.
