Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.7K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Factors Influencing Heart Rate01:30

Factors Influencing Heart Rate

5.6K
The heart rate, or pulse rate, is a vital indicator of cardiovascular health. It reflects the number of times the heart beats per minute. Various physiological and environmental factors influence heart rate, increasing or decreasing cardiac output. Understanding these factors is crucial for assessing heart function and identifying potential health issues.
Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

5.7K
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Background:

  • Wearable technology enables continuous heart rate (HR) monitoring for physical activity assessment.
  • Lack of standardized protocols for analyzing free-living HR data from wearables hinders accurate physical activity profiling.
  • The INTERLIVE® network aims to establish best-practice recommendations for consumer wearable data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop best-practice protocols for deriving individual physical activity profiles from continuous HR recordings.
  • To address the gap in universal recommendations for utilizing free-living HR data from wearables.
  • To synthesize current knowledge and provide actionable guidance for HR data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines was conducted.
  • Grey literature searches of manufacturer materials and user manuals were performed.
  • Evidence-informed discussions among INTERLIVE® network members informed the recommendations.

Main Results:

  • The review covered key domains: maximal HR assessment (72 papers), basal/resting HR determination (2 papers), and HR-derived intensity zones (11 papers).
  • A decision tree and detailed recommendations for analyzing free-living HR data were developed.
  • Examples of HR-metric calculations were provided to illustrate data processing and reporting.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized protocols are essential for accurate physical activity assessment using wearable HR data.
