CardioPro Infiniti is a specialized off-line analysis module which brings
advanced heart rate variability (HRV) analysis capabilities to the BioGraph
Infiniti platform. It complements any physiological biofeedback suite (such
as the Physiology suite) by providing sophisticated data analysis methods
that were only previously available in very specialized software packages
such as Thought Technology's CardioPro software.
Easy access to BioGraph sessions
The module accesses BioGraph Infiniti's client database directly and is
capable of processing open display and script sessions that were recorded
with either an electrocardiograph (EKG) or blood volume pulse (BVP) sensor
to generate session specific statistical analysis. (The module is also
compatible with Thought Technology's specialized receiver for the T31
Transmitter belts# from Polar™.)
Easy normalizing of IBI data
The module provides advanced tools for normalizing and analysing inter-beat
interval (IBI) data. The statistical analyses follow the guidelines
published in 1996 by the HRV Task Force. A powerful IBI editor offers both
automatic and manual normalization functions to help you rapidly remove
artifacts caused by extra beats, missed beats or premature
atrial/ventricular contractions (PAC or PVC) using three standard
operations, ADD, SPLIT and AVERAGE.
Easy analysis of peripheral physiological data
The module also provides all the editing and statistical analysis functions
you need for removing artifacts from other physiological measures such as
respiration, skin conductance, temperature and electromyography (EMG).
Easy reporting options
Once recorded data is normalized and artifacts have been rejected, the
module generates a thorough statistical analysis which you can review, prior
to printing it out. The module's ability to reprocess your data with epoch
durations of either 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes adds unmatched flexibility to your
analysis. The graphical analysis also provides epoch by epoch 2D and 3D
power spectrum views as well as a standard tachogram and Poincaré plot. Once
you are satisfied with the data analysis, you can rapidly generate reports
as either Microsoft Word or Excel documents and export IBI data and
statistical tables to text files.
