METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY CHECKING THE QUALITY OF AN RR SERIES OBTAINED FROM A CARDIAC SIGNAL

摘要

The method can be used for controlling the quality of an initial RR series constituted by a plurality of samples (RRi) that are dependent, respectively, on the time intervals (δti) that separate two successive heartbeats. The method involves re-sampling the RR series in such a way as to obtain a re-sampled RR series, and automatically checking the quality of the RR series, by automatically calculating at least the mathematical norm (NORME), in a sliding window, of the re-sampled RR series, said mathematical norm being given by the following formula: (I) in which N is the number of samples (RRi) in said window.
