Accuracy of the Suunto system for heart rate variability analysis during a tilt-test

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the Suunto Memory Belt (SMB) heart rate (HR) recorder compared with that of a standard electrocardiogram system (ECG) and compared the heart rate variability (HRV) analyses conducted with each dataset. Heart rate was simultaneously recorded using E...

description The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the Suunto Memory Belt (SMB) heart rate (HR) recorder compared with that of a standard electrocardiogram system (ECG) and compared the heart rate variability (HRV) analyses conducted with each dataset. Heart rate was simultaneously recorded using ECG and SMB in fifteen participants [mean (SD) age 27.3 (13.9) years, height 177.4 (10.2) cm and body mass 66.8 (15.3) kg] during an orthostatic tilt test. The two datasets were analysed to compare the number and type of R-R interval artefacts and indices from HRV (RMSSD, pNN50, HF, LF, SD1, and SD2). For artefact detection, 16,742 R-R intervals were analysed during all recordings. Only 18 artefacts, 9 type 1 (long R-R interval) and 9 type 2 (short R-R interval), were identified with the SMB. Bland-Altman analysis indicated excellent accuracy for the SMB, with limits of agreement of -2.00 and +1.94 ms. Further, the reference and SMB systems were strongly correlated. The similarity between each device indicated that the SMB could reliably record R-R intervals.
