ecgAUTO software for automated ecg analysis: key concepts

ecgAUTO software for automated ecg analysis

ecgAUTO powerful shape recognition-based analysis uses library waveforms

waveform libraries for shape-based ecg analysis

ecgAUTO analyzes ecg data using shape recognition techniques. For this, it requires a library of reference waveforms.

Each reference waveform has markers for key points such as onset of P wave, R wave peak, end of T wave...

ecg libraries are built and edited by the user. Specific libraries can be built for different species or leads.

The pioneering shape recognition technique used by ecgAUTO make it possible to analyze normal or abnormal ecg morphology, from any species and any lead.

ecgAUTO analysis is performed on user-defined segments called steps (green rectangles)

analysis protocol

Analysis is performed on segments of ecg data (called steps).

Users create a protocol that defines the steps to be analyzed within ecg data. The steps may be defined in relation to experimental periods or event markers.

An example of a simple protocol is "analyze 1 minute of data every 15 minutes of data".

You can display average beats for each analysis step in a waterfall display, to allow you to rapidly evaluate morphology and detect changes.

ecgAUTO markers and calculated parameters shown for individual beats inside steps (here, 7 beats inside a step)

beat-by-beat control

A full list of detected beats, with event markers, is shown for each analyzed step.

Beat-by-beat values with calculated parameters (e.g. RR, QT, QTc, ST elevation and more) are displayed in an interactive table at the bottom of the screen.

ecgAUTO software for automated ecg analysis

powerful and flexible

ecgAUTO can be set up to effectively analyze ecg from any new situation in a matter of minutes.

ecgAUTO reads files produced by emka TECHNOLOGIES data acquisition software (iox or eAcq) in either wire or wireless (telemetry) setups.

iox2 can be linked to Data Sciences (DSI™) Dataquest® OpenART® Digital Telemetry Interface for real-time acquisition from this telemetry set-up,

ecgAUTO can read files generated by DSI™ telemetry systems, and several third-party acquisition programs.

Cardiovascular Assessment Facility, Lausanne, Switzerland. A core facility of the University of Lausanne and University Hospital offering sophisticated techniques for the physiological assessment of the cardiovascular system in rodents, including in vivo ecg recordings and analysis using emka TECHNOLOGIES' iox and ecgAUTO software. 

proven and reliable

ecgAUTO has an excellent track record, and has been successfully and extensively field-tested with pigs, dogs, rabbits, rats and mice, in conscious/telemetered and anesthetized animals.
