Correction of ectopic beat Presence Effect This Algorithm corrects the effect of ectopic beats, annotated by the function QRScorr, by calculating the corrected Heart Timing Signal, according to the IPFM - Modell With the Heart Timing Signal the HRV PSD estimation can be calculated by the FHTIS - method. (see [1]) INPUT: QRStime: Time values of the detected QRS-Complexes ectb_times: Time values of the ectopic beats generated by QRScorr(output-variable: ANNOT.mov) OUTPUT: ht: ht.data: Heart Timing Signal ht.time: Dedicated Time Series m: Derivative of the heart timing signal, dedicated time series is "ht.time" r: Instantaneous Heart Rate dedicated time series is "ht.time" Example: [ht,m,r] = ECTBcorr(QRStime_corr,ectb_times); Filename: ECTBcorr.m Last modified: 2003/09/15 Copyright (c) 2003 by Johannes Peham Reference: [1] J.
