PVC, premature ventricular complex. Beats considered from normal sinus rhythm are automatically labeled in blue, while non-AF arrhythmia in orange. After a single PVC or any other abnormal beat (or pause) recognized as an arrhythmic event by the algorithm, a given number of subsequent beats remain labeled in orange until the last arrhythmic beat exits the moving matrix made by a fixed number of consecutive prior beats, used for computation of variability in real-time. Labeled beats always follow the arrhythmic event, but they can trigger the acquisition of other electrocardiograms only once the rhythm re-verts to normal (at least one blue beat). The missing beat is also recognized.
