Since the description of an early acceleration and late deceleration in HR following ventricular premature beats, called “heart rate turbulence” (HRT) (Schmidt et al. 1999), considerable progress has been made in the understanding of physiological mechanisms underlying this regulatory process (Voss et al. 2004). HRT characterizes short-term fluctuations in sinus cycle length that follow spontaneous ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) (Schmidt et al. 1999). The response to an endogenous disturbance of the HR–blood pressure sequence provides unique insights into regulation phenomena. In contrast to alternative methods that use exogenous stimuli as the baroreflex stimulation with phenylephrine, the HRT method enables a quantification and characterization of blood pressure regulation mechanisms caused by intrinsic triggers (Voss et al. 2004).

The MARS Ambulatory ECG system captures and stores every heartbeat of your patient and then provides a computerised ECG analysis using a full suite of GE Marquette* algorithms. The Marquette analysis programs are a sophisticated set of tools that measure anomalies, such as Heart Rate Turbulence and T-wave Alternans, which could be missed by the human eye (Phyllis, Devang, and Peter et al. 2008).
