Geometric patterns of time ‐delay plots from different cardiac rhythms and arrhythmias using short‐term EKG signals

ConclusionsModified Poincaré plots with smoothed lines connecting successive points could accurately classify different types of arrhythmias based on short RR interval sequence variability. Characteristic emergent patterns can be visually identified and eventually could be distinguished by an automatic classification system able to discern between arrhythmias. This work provides an alternative method to interpret time‐delay plots obtained from short‐term EKG signal recordings.
