Abstract

In this paper the cardiac phase is calculated using differ- ent methods based on time warping theory. The estimated phase is used for calculation of the heart rate (HR) signal. The results show that the estimated HR is similar to the HR calculated by using the RR-interval sequence. Unlike the RR-interval signal which is non-uniformly sampled, the proposed method for HR calculation is continuous in time. Therefore, conventional signal processing methods can be used to study the HR signal easily and without any prepro- cessing techniques like resampling and interpolations used in previous method.
