For more than a century the relationships of the waveforms identified on the electrocardiogram have been used to develop knowledge of the underlying mechanisms for normal and abnormal rhythms. The patterns seen from the creation of geometric heart rate variability (Poincaré plots and tachograms) can be used to further this knowledge beyond descriptive terms.
The morphology and timing of waveforms are used to diagnosis arrhythmias.
Better understanding of the beat-to-beat relationships of the beating heart can be vital to making diagnoses and hypothesizing the mechanisms of cardiac rhythms.
Geometric heart rate variability is used to visualize these beat-to-beat relationships with still frame, 3-dimensional and dynamic Poincaré plots and tachograms.
