Number of Replicate ECGs Signal Averaged to Yield an Average<br />

<strong>QT</strong> Value<br />

Slide 13<br />

•Beat-to-beat variability under optimal recording conditions is<br />

substantial<br />

‣ True variability<br />

‣ Measurement error<br />

• Signal average to strengthen the signal<br />

• How many replicates<br />

‣ 3 is common<br />

‣ Probably some slight increase in reduction of variability with 6-7<br />

‣ The more the better within a time frame where factors influencing <strong>QT</strong> are not<br />

changing but the increase in reduction of variability will be very small beyond 6-7
