Abstract
A TWA measuring apparatus includes: a grouping section which is configured to group electrocardiogram waveforms of a subject in increments of a first beat number, to generate a plurality of first groups; a storage section which is configured to store the electrocardiogram waveforms; a testing section which is configured to test a statistical intergroup difference of measurement values of the electrocardiogram waveforms of the first groups; a heartbeat condition determining section which is configured to determine that a heartbeat condition is unstable, when a significant statistical difference exists between the first groups; and a TWA measuring section which is configured to measure variation in heartbeat by using the stored electrocardiogram waveforms, when it is determined that the heartbeat condition is unstable.
