Hrv premium ver 3.2

Initially, the 12-lead ECG and Polar V800^™ HR monitor were started to simultaneously record R-R intervals at an acquisition rate of 1000 Hz. Cardiology XML files obtained from the ECG were imported into Kubios HRV Premium (ver. 3.2) (The Biomedical Signals Analysis and Medical Imaging Group, University of Kuopio, Finland) in order to export the R-R intervals detected automatically by its built-in QRS detection algorithm. Kubios HRV Premium (ver. 3.2) marked each R-wave with “+” sign that could be moved or removed to correct falsely detected R-waves. The detected R-R intervals were manually inspected on the ECG tachogram to ensure there were no false R-wave detections. If an R-wave was falsely determined, one of the authors (BTC) replaced it by moving “+” signs on the correct R-wave. The detected R-R intervals from ECG were then checked by another author (DAG) to ensure data accuracy and saved in a space delimited ASCII text file. In addition, the R-R intervals recorded by Polar V800^™ HR monitor were exported from the Polar Flow web service (ver. 2.3; Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Finland) in a space delimited ASCII text file.
