Ecgsyn

New in version 0.6.

This functions produces a synthesized ECG signal. User can control following parameters: mean heart rate, number of beats, sampling frequency, waveform morphology (P, Q, R, S, and T timing, amplitude,and duration), standard deviation of the RR interval, LF/HF ratio.

Example Usage

Simple example follows

x, peaks = ecgsyn(n=10, hrmean=50, hrstd=3, sfecg=128)

The returned variable x contains the synthetic ECG series.

ECGSYN - realistic ecg generator.

Kwargs:

  • sfecg : ECG sampling frequency (int), it Hz
  • N : approaximate number of heart beats (int)
  • hrmean : mean heart rate (float) in beats per minute
  • hrstd : standard deviation of heart rate (float) in beats per minute
  • ‘lfhfration : LF/HF ratio (float)
  • sfint : internal sampling frequency (int) in Hz
  • ti : angles of PQRST extrema (1d array of size 5) in degrees
  • ai : z-position of PQRST extrema (1d array of size 5)
  • bi : Gaussian width of peaks (1d array of size 5)

Returns:

  • x : ECG values in mV
  • peaks: labels for PQRST peaks (P=1, Q=2, R=3, S=4, T=5 and 0 elsewhere)
