ECG Analysis Module for Windows

ECG Analysis

Overview:


The MLS360/7 ECG Analysis Module for Windows automatically detects and reports PQRST onset, amplitude and intervals, either online or offline.

The raw data is unaltered by any calculations to ensure that the ECG can be reanalyzed. Default detection and analysis parameters are included for human, pig, dog, rabbit, guinea pig, rat and mice ECG. Detection settings can be customized at any time for optimization or for use with other animals.

The ECG Analysis Module should be used with the latest version of LabChart.

The ECG Analysis Module is also available as part of LabChart Pro. The LabChart Pro software package includes all LabChart Modules. Existing LabChart users and PowerLab system purchasers can upgrade to LabChart Pro at a special price. If you need more information please contact your ADInstruments Representative.

For more information download the Software Booklet (5.83 MB) or contact your nearest ADInstruments Representative.

Sample Applications:


ECG Analysis Module applications involve studies requiring the detection and classification of ECG beats and extraction of the PQRST parameters. Sample applications include:

Features & Benefits:

  • Allows real-time analysis of incoming ECG analysis.
  • Analysis of ECG data from any species and includes tailored algorithms for human, rat and mouse ECG analysis.
  • Settings are customizable for optimal identification of ECG waveforms.
  • Automatic detection and averaging of ECG cycles with the option to average a specified number of beats, or all the beats across a specified time period or in a block.
  • ECG Beat Classifier identifies ectopic beats and other cardiac arrhythmias by identifying noise-contaminated waveforms and waveforms with abnormal QRS shapes or RR intervals. Beats can be included or excluded from analysis by positioning the movable red box limit lines.
  • Beat marker colors correspond to the signal's 'form' and 'noise' factor selections in the ECG Beat Classifier View. The first beat marker is always displayed in gray. Beat markers included in analysis are green. Red marker color indicates exclusion from analysis based on signal noise. Blue color indicates exclusion due to form factor, and pink signifies exclusion due to noise as well as form.
  • ECG Beat Averaging View is useful in reducing the effects of noise or movement artifacts and to compare effects on the ECG before and after experimental intervention.
  • Provides automatic logging and displaying of selected ECG parameters of start, end, amplitude and PQRST interval times in tabular and graphical format.
  • ECG Table view parameters can be added to the Data Pad or exported to other graphing or statistical programs. Available parameters includes:
    • P, Q, R, S, T amplitudes
    • Time intervals such as RR, PR, JT,QT and QTc
  • Automatic generation of Analysis Plots from calculated parameters:
    • QT/RR Plot (QT Interval versus RR Interval)
    • QT/Time Plot
    • RR/Time Plot
    • Waterfall Plot
  • Linked LabChart, Beat Classifier, Averaging and Table Views for quick navigation to points of interest with any manual edits performed marked in red.

ECG Analysis Plots: The RR vs Time Plot gives an indication of changes in heart rate.



Human ECG Waterfall Plot.



Waterfall Plot of Rabbit ECG. Note the prolongated QT interval in the Rabbit ECG plot.



ECG Settings: Default settings for human and animals (large and small) and allows for the selection of beat detection algorithm. Averaging function allows the user to specify the number of ECG beats from which an average beat is calculated to eliminate signal noise.



ECG Analysis Plots: The results of ECG analyses are automatically displayed as scatter plots. The QT vs Time and QT vs RR Plots are ideal for illustrating the effects of drugs on QT interval.



LabChart View: RR Interval and QT Interval calculated using the ECG Analysis Module and displayed in two separate channels.



LabChart recording of an ECG signal with a selection of ECG Analysis Module windows including ECG Averaging, ECG Table, ECG Waterfall Plot and ECG QT versus Time Plot.



LabChart View with visible Beat Markers showing included beats (green) and excluded beats (red) from analysis. Left-clicking on these markers provides the beat number and the RR interval from the previous beat.



ECG Averaging View: The average waveform is shown in black and the individual cycles in green. All identifiable waveform parameters are labeled and editable by dragging the markers along the axis.



ECG Beat Classifier View: The left pane identifies noise contaminated beats such as muscle activity. The right pane identifies beats with different RR intervals or altered QRS shapes.



ECG Table View: Displays logged values of PQRST. In the upper section, each data row corresponds to the averaged values calculated from multiple cycles. The lower section provides a statistical summary of all the rows. Table can be exported as .txt files and opened in a number of popular graphical or statistical analysis programs.
