Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce an integrated, portable, affordable and simple to use heart rate variability (HRV) analysis tool STREME. The system consists of an ECG acquisition device and software for HRV analysis. We assessed the reliability and validity of using STREME against the reference standards RMS VarioWin and Kubios HRV for the short term HRV analysis. The validation study was carried out with the participation of 46 healthy subjects that included 15 men and 31 women with an average age of 27.67 ± 7.75yrs. The results showed that there is a significantly strong correlation (r > 0.95, p < 0.001) between STREME and reference systems in HRV indices. The Bland-Altman analysis of all features computed from STREME and reference system represent a close agreement for all the parameters. Hence STREME HRV analysis tool can be recommended to researchers and other professionals for the evaluation of autonomic function using short term HRV.

Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Doppler Ultrasound Blood Pressure Assessment:
Preparation of Equipment:
Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)
Factors Influencing Heart Rate
Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...
Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
