A BASIC program for the peak-to-valley estimation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia.
A computer program for the automatic scoring of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is described. The program uses the 'peak-to-valley' quantification of RSA. Data was collected on 20 subjects to determine the inter-rater reliability and efficiency of the program. Highly reliable estimates of RSA were found. Advantages and limitations of the program are discussed.
