Evaluating Pauses in Holter ECG Signals

Background: Information related to pauses in heart activity is an important output of ECG Holter monitoring reports. This information should be quickly assessed from inter-beat (RR) intervals only (a naïve approach). However, evaluating pauses in Holter ECGs recorded during usual daily activities can be more challenging due to signal lower quality. In this paper, we propose a method to improve pau...
