Electrocardiomatrix facilitates qualitative identification of diminished heart rate variability in critically ill patients shortly before cardiac arrest

Although heart rate variability (HRV) has diagnostic and prognostic value for the assessment of cardiac risk, HRV analysis is not routinely performed in a hospital setting. Current HRV analysis methods are primarily quantitative; such methods are sensitive to signal contamination and require extensive post hoc processing.
