Overview

hrv is a simple Python module that brings the most widely used techniques to work with RRi series and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analyses without losing the Power and Flexibility of a native Python object and numpy arrays.

Installation / Usage

To install use pip:

$ pip install hrv

Or clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/rhenanbartels/hrv.git
$ python setup.py install

BASIC USAGE

Create an RRi instance

Once you create an RRi object you will have the power of a native Python iterable object. This means, that you can loop through it using a for loop, get a just a part of the series using native slicing and much more. Let us try it:

from hrv.rri import RRi

rri_list = [800, 810, 815, 750, 753, 905]
rri = RRi(rri_list)

print(rri)
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 750., 753., 905.])

Slicing

print(rri[0])
800.0

print(type(rri[0]))
numpy.float64

print(rri[::2])
RRi array([800., 815., 753.])

Logical Indexing

from hrv.rri import RRi

rri = RRi([800, 810, 815, 750, 753, 905])
rri_ge = rri[rri >= 800]

rri_ge
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 905.])

Loop

for rri_value in rri:
    print(rri_value)

800.0
810.0
815.0
750.0
753.0
905.0

Note:

When time information is not provided, time array will be created using the cumulative sum of successive RRi. After cumulative sum, the time array is subtracted from the value at t[0] to make it start from 0s

RRi object and time information

from hrv.rri import RRi

rri_list = [800, 810, 815, 750, 753, 905]
rri = RRi(rri_list)

print(rri.time)
array([0.   , 0.81 , 1.625, 2.375, 3.128, 4.033]) # Cumsum of rri values minus t[0]

rri = RRi(rri_list, time=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(rri.time)
[0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.]

Note:

Some validations are made in the time list/array provided to the RRi class, for instance:

  • RRi and time list/array must have the same length;
  • Time list/array can not have negative values;
  • Time list/array must be monotonic increasing.

Basic math operations

With RRi objects you can make math operatins just like a numpy array:

rri
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 750., 753., 905.])

rri * 10
RRi array([8000., 8100., 8150., 7500., 7530., 9050.])

rri + 200
RRi array([1000., 1010., 1015.,  950.,  953., 1105.])

Works with Numpy functions

import numpy as np

rri = RRi([800, 810, 815, 750, 753, 905])

sum_rri = np.sum(rri)
print(sum_rri)
4833.0

mean_rri = np.mean(rri)
print(mean_rri)
805.5

std_rri = np.std(rri)
print(std_rri)
51.44171459039833

Read RRi files

From text (.txt) file

Text files contains a single column with all RRi values. Example of RRi text file

800
810
815
750
from hrv.io import read_from_text

rri = read_from_text('path/to/file.txt')

print(rri)
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 750.])

From Polar ® (.hrm) file

The .hrm files contain the RRi acquired with Polar ®

A complete guide for .hrm files can be found here.

from hrv.io import read_from_hrm

rri = read_from_hrm('path/to/file.hrm')

print(rri)
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 750.])

From comma separated (.csv) file file

Example of csv file:

800,
810,
815,
750,
from hrv.io import read_from_csv

rri = read_from_csv('path/to/file.csv')

print(rri)
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 750.])

Note:

When using read_from_csv you can also provide a column containing time information. Let's check it.

800,1
810,2
815,3
750,4
rri = read_from_csv('path/to/file.csv', time_col_index=1)

print(rri)
RRi array([800., 810., 815., 750.])

print(rri.time)
array([0., 1., 2., 3., 4.])

RRi statistics

The RRi object implements some basic statistics information about its values:

  • mean
  • median
  • standard deviation
  • variance
  • minimum
  • maximum
  • amplitude

Some examples:

from hrv.rri import RRi

rri = RRi([800, 810, 815, 750, 753, 905])

# mean
rri.mean()
805.5

# median
rri.median()
805.0

You can also have a complete overview of its statistical charactheristic

desc = rri.describe()
desc
----------------------------------------
                   rri          hr
----------------------------------------
min             750.00       66.30
max             905.00       80.00
mean            805.50       74.78
var            2646.25       20.85
std              51.44        4.57
median          805.00       74.54
amplitude       155.00       13.70
print(desc['std'])

RRi Visualization

The RRi class brings a very easy way to visualize your series:

RRi Series

from hrv.io import read_from_text

rri = read_from_text('path/to/file.txt')
fig, ax = rri.plot(color='k')

RRi Image

RRi histogram and Heart Rate Histogram

rri.hist()

rri.hist(hr=True)

Moving Average Image

Moving Average Image

Time Slicing

It is also possible to slice RRi series with time range information (in seconds).

In the following example, we are taking a slice that starts at 100s and ends at 200s.

from hrv.io import read_from_text

rri = read_from_text('path/to/file.txt')
rri_range = rri.time_range(start=100, end=200)

fig, ax = rri_range.plot(marker='.')

Moving Average Image

Time offset can be reset from the RRi series range:

rri_range.reset_time(inplace=True)

Moving Average Image

Filters

Moving Average

from hrv.filters import moving_average
filt_rri = moving_average(rri, order=3)

fig, ax = rri.plot()
filt_rri.plot(ax=ax)

Moving Average Image

Moving Median

from hrv.filters import moving_median
filt_rri = moving_median(rri, order=3)

fig, ax = rri.plot()
filt_rri.plot(ax=ax)

Moving Median Image

Quotient

from hrv.filters import quotient
filt_rri = quotient(rri)
