SpaceLabs Medical, Redmond, Washington 98073.

A software package designed to perform a power spectral analysis of heart rate variability for Holter data is presented. The implementation is for the SpaceLabs Medical FT series 386/486-based Holter analysis workstation (Redmond, WA). The package is designed to allow rapid assessment of both short-term and long-term fluctuations in the heart rate spectrum. The package can be used to make a variety of spectral measurements of heart rate variability.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
