This includes both intracardiac and extracardiac data. Please see `read_muse()` and `read_lspro()` as examples. If additional formats are requested, please [file an issue](https://github.com/shah-in-boots/EGM/issues) and provide a sample file (which primarily requires signal, in whatever format, and meta-information about the individual channels). Here is a simple example of taking a MUSE XML file and converting it to digital signal. This was tested against the 9th version of the MUSE XML format. ```{r} # Read in data fp <- system.file('extdata', 'muse-sinus.xml', package = 'EGM') xml <- readLines(fp) head(xml) # Instead, can read this in as a MUSE XML file # Now as an `egm` class ecg <- read_muse(fp) ecg # Can now plot this easily ggm(ecg) + theme_egm_light() ``` Similarly, intracardiac recordings obtained through LSPro can be read in as well. The function itself documents how this generally work. ```{r} # Read in data fp <- system.file('extdata', 'lspro-avnrt.txt', package = 'EGM') lspro <- readLines(fp) head(lspro, n = 20) # Instead, read this as signal, breaking apart header and signal data # Presented as an `egm` class object egram <- read_lspro(fp) egram # Similarly, can be visualized with ease ggm(egram, channels = c('HIS', 'CS', 'RV'), mode = NULL) + theme_egm_dark() ``` # Class Introduction The `{EGM}` package introduces a specific data-oriented class called `egm` (note the *lower-case* spelling compared to the package name). This class is the primary data structure, and allows for compatibility within multiple signal types, including when reading in WFDB-formatted data. Once in this class, everything can be written out as well - with the preferred option being for the stated `WFDB` format.
