Power modulation spectrum
A promising approach for the indispensable quality control of electrocardiogram signals from monitoring units for the detection of autonomic dysfunction
Recent publication
Dr Elisaebth Olbert from the Division of Neurology at Tulln University Hospital has introduced a new index for assessing the quality of electrocardiogram (ECG) data. ECG data is used to evaluate the autonomic nervous system,whereby the quality of the data is a prerequisite for its usability. In order to optimise the quality assessment of large amounts of data, the ‘peak-distance quality index PDQI’ was developed as an automatic quality parameter based on 1000 real-life ECG data from the University Hospital. Thanks to open access funding from KL, the study has been published freely in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences. The work was produced as part of Dr Olbert´s Research Time Out, a funding instrument of the KL's Forschungsimpulse package.
