Arrhythmias and Heart Rhythm

What information does BPplus give on arrhythmias?

pulsecor BPplus provides a rhythm strip over 10 seconds with each pulse being clearly identifiable.

BPplus also calculates a numerical measure of short term pulse rate variability.

Two examples of arrhythmias as presented by a pulsecor  R6.5 cardiovascular monitor are shown below:

Skipped beat Multiple skipped beats
