BuildNIHR {RHRV}R Documentation

Build the instantaneous heart rate signal from a beat position array

Description

The instantaneous heart rate can be defined as the inverse of the time separation between two consecutive heart beats. Once the beats have been identified, and since the only valid values contributing to the heart rate signal are the corresponding to normal beats preceded by other normal beats, a further operation should be performed for the calculation of the instantaneous heart rate.

Usage

BuildNIHR(Data, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

Data Data structure that stores the beats register and all the information obtained from it
verbose Boolean argument that allows to specify if the function returns additional information

Value

Returns Data, the structure that contains beat positions register and now associated heart rate instantaneous values also
