ecg: Electrocardiogram data class for 12-lead ECG studies

Description

This class serves as a specialized extension of the egm class specifically for standard 12-lead electrocardiogram data. It inherits all functionality from egm while providing additional validation and methods specific to 12-lead ECG analysis.

Usage

ecg(
  signal = signal_table(),
  header = header_table(),
  annotation = annotation_table(),
  ...
)
is_ecg(x)

Value

An object of class ecg (which inherits from egm) containing signal, header, and annotation components.

Arguments

signal

A signal_table object generated by the signal_table() function containing standard ECG leads

header

A header_table object generated by the header_table() function

annotation

A annotation_table object generated by the annotation_table() function

...

Additional arguments to be passed to the function

x

An ecg object to be used with support functions

Details

The ecg object contains the same three components as egm:

• signal data in multiple channels (specifically 12 standard ECG leads)

• header information

• annotation labels at specified time points

The primary difference is that this class enforces validation to ensure the data represents a standard 12-lead ECG with appropriate lead names.
