Cardiovascular

Spike2 includes built-in and custom features for cardiovascular research. It can record pulsatile signals using a CED 1401 interface while simultaneously pacing and stimulating and can detect, measure and react to waveform features such as R-waves in real-time. In addition, it can carry out comprehensive data analysis on-line with further analysis off-line. If you need to process data recorded with other systems, Spike2 can import a wide range of third-party file formats.

Common applications

• Heart rate variability studies
• Cardiac action potential repolarisation latencies
• Waveform complex identification and measurement such as QRS
• Organ bath/Langendorff studies, including pressure-volume loops
• Exercise physiology
• Baroreceptor sensitivity analysis
