A Real-Time QRS Detection Algorithm

TLDR
A real-time algorithm that reliably recognizes QRS complexes based upon digital analyses of slope, amplitude, and width of ECG signals and automatically adjusts thresholds and parameters periodically to adapt to such ECG changes as QRS morphology and heart rate.
Abstract
We have developed a real-time algorithm for detection of the QRS complexes of ECG signals. It reliably recognizes QRS complexes based upon digital analyses of slope, amplitude, and width. A special digital bandpass filter reduces false detections caused by the various types of interference present in ECG signals. This filtering permits use of low thresholds, thereby increasing detection sensitivity. The algorithm automatically adjusts thresholds and parameters periodically to adapt to such ECG changes as QRS morphology and heart rate. For the standard 24 h MIT/BIH arrhythmia database, this algorithm correctly detects 99.3 percent of the QRS complexes.

Heart rate variability as a predictive biomarker of thermal comfort

TL;DR: In this paper, heart rate variability (HRV) is used as an alternative indicator of thermal comfort status to predict human thermal states (cold, neutral, and hot) with up to 93.7% accuracy.

Heart rate variability in patients recovering from general anaesthesia.

TL;DR: Heart rate variability (HRV) was found to decrease with increased weight, age, complexity of operation, use of reversal agents for neuromuscular block and preoperative beta-block, and in the group of patients that did not receive reversal agents, there was an abrupt increase in HRV when patients became responsive to verbal command.

Online digital filters for biological signals: some fast designs for a small computer.

TL;DR: The possibilities for extending the class of lowpass recursive digital filters to include high pass, bandpass, and bandstop filters are described, and experience with a PDP 11 computer has shown that these filters may be programmed simply using machine code, and that online operation at sampling rates up to about 8 kHz is possible.
