Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for detecting premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are provided. The method is under control of one or more processors configured with specific executable instructions. The method obtains a cycle length (CL) distribution metric that plots a series of cardiac beats into one of a set of transition types based on R-R interval (RRI) difference pairs associated with the cardiac beats. The CL distribution metric plots the cardiac beats based on a comparison between combinations of the RRI difference pairs for corresponding combinations of the cardiac beats. The method calculates a distribution characteristic for the cardiac beats, from the series of cardiac beats that exhibit a first transition type from the set of transition types and calculates a discrimination score based on the distribution characteristic of the cardiac beats across the CL distribution metric. The method designates the CA signals to include a predetermined level of PVC burden based on the discrimination score.
