Abstract
I read with interest the excellent article on sudden cardiac death risk stratification with electrocardiographic (ECG) indices by Dr. Gimeno-Blanes and his colleagues in the recent issue of Frontiers in Physiology (Gimeno-Blanes et al., 2016). The article is unique in that it included computational processing, technology transfer, and scientific evidence, critical considerations in the long and challenging path from bench to bedside. The parameters discussed, namely heart rate variability, heart rate turbulence, and microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA), are well-considered as they are the most extensively studied contemporary ECG-based risk stratification parameters.

I would like to register some additional considerations with respect to time-domain analysis of microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA) using the Modified Moving Average (MMA) method
