ABSTRACT
Instantaneous chaometry was defined on uniformity theory constructed by the present authors. The sample data, sinus heart rate data and arrhythmia heart rate data from MIT-BIH were analyzed with instantaneous chaometry (ICM); the situation not being distinguished with HRV can be differentiated with ICM. The normal sinus rhythm was found to be of three evident characteristics: (1) instant returning to zero, (2) stability-stable characteristic of ICM on the initial position, (3) interval of mean: 2-7, variance: 1.5-5. The third characteristic shows that the variability of ICM is necessary. The studies on arrhythmia database showed that arrhythmia cases exhibited no returning to zero, nonstability of ICM on the initial position, too small mean or standard deviation, respectively. Evidently, the arithmetic of ICM is simple; ICM can be easily applied in clinical and pathologic analyses.
