Finding length of time in between peaks.

I am currently working on a project involving signal processing of ECG and PPG data to calculate Pulse Transit Time (PTT). I need to determine the time between corresponding peaks in ECG and PPG signals with precision down to fractions of a millisecond. However, I'm concerned that my current method might not be providing accurate results. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to improve my calculations.
This is my code at the minute:
clc;
clear;
close all;
All_Data = {}; % set up cell array for all workbook data
Plotted_Data_ECG_PPG = {}; % set up cell array for ECG and PPG plotted data
PTT_Data = {}; % set up cell array for PTT data
BP_Calculation = {}; % set up cell array for BP calculation
SYS_Data_single = {}; % Initialize the cell array for storing single systolic data values
DIA_Data_single = {}; % Initialize the cell array for storing single diastolic data values
collected_BP_Data = [];
windowSize = 2; % window size for filtering data
ecgThreshold = 0.375; % Threshold for ECG peaks
ppgThreshold = 0.1; % Threshold for PPG peaks
for i = 1:11 % set up loop to run for 11 iterations (number of workbooks)
filename = sprintf('%03d.xlsx', i); % set up each filename (001-011) to be read on each iteration
opt = detectImportOptions(filename); % import data from filename
sheets = sheetnames(filename); % retrieve names of sheets
for j = 1:numel(sheets) % iterate over each sheet within a workbook
tBC = readtable(filename, opt, 'Sheet', sheets{j}); % extract sheets from workbooks
Time_Data = tBC{:, 'Var4'}; % extract time data from column 4
% Remove invalid cells from time data column
rows2delete = isnan(Time_Data);
tBC(rows2delete,:) = [];
Time_Data = tBC{:, 'Var4'};
% Fit polynomial line to smooth out time data
xx = (1:numel(Time_Data))';
p = polyfit(xx, Time_Data, 1);
Time_Data_new = polyval(p, xx);
ECG_Data = tBC{:, 'Var6'}; % extract ECG data from column 6
PPG_Data = tBC{:, 'Var8'}; % extract PPG data from column 8
SYS_Data = tBC{:, 'Var10'}; % extract systolic pressure data from column 10
DIA_Data = tBC{:, 'Var12'}; % extract diastolic pressure data from column 12
% Select the first value as the single data value for SYS and DIA
SYS_Data_single_value = SYS_Data(1);
DIA_Data_single_value = DIA_Data(1);
% Apply filter to ECG and PPG data
ECG_Data_smoothed = movmean(ECG_Data, windowSize);
PPG_Data_smoothed = movmean(PPG_Data, windowSize);
% Normalize ECG and PPG data around 0 for accurate calculations
ECG_Data_normalized = ECG_Data_smoothed - mean(ECG_Data_smoothed);
PPG_Data_normalized = PPG_Data_smoothed - mean(PPG_Data_smoothed);
% Find peaks for ECG and PPG data above thresholds
[ecgPeaks, ecgPeakIdx] = findpeaks(ECG_Data_normalized, 'MinPeakHeight', ecgThreshold);
[ppgPeaks, ppgPeakIdx] = findpeaks(PPG_Data_normalized, 'MinPeakHeight', ppgThreshold);
% Calculate PTT for each pair of corresponding peaks
numPeaks = min(length(ecgPeaks), length(ppgPeaks));
PTT = zeros(numPeaks, 1);
for k = 1:numPeaks
PTT(k) = (Time_Data_new(ppgPeakIdx(k)) - Time_Data_new(ecgPeakIdx(k))) * 1000; % Convert measurement to milliseconds
end
% Make PTT values positive
PTT = abs(PTT);
% Place the PTT data in PTT_Data cell array
PTT_Data{i, j} = PTT;
end
end
I would greatly appreciate any help. I have included one of the files that is being used.

If you are having problems with it, address it there rather than opening another question.
My problem with your file is that the ‘TIME:’ values make no sense. I originally thought that they were fractions of a day, and so converted them to something useful using 'ConvertFrom','datenum' however those values do not make sense. I had to construct a millisecond vector to make the times come out even remotely realistic, however it is obvious that those are not correct. Your code does not at all address the ‘TIME:’ vector.
You need to provide information on the ‘TIME:’ column that permits the values to be useful. There is no current information on how to interpret those values.
EDIT — (12 Mar 2024 at 14:56)
I took another look at the times that I created (calculated from the ‘TIME:’ variable), and I believe they are correct, based on the calculated heart rate (that I just now added). So my interpreting them as fractions-of-a-day and converting them as ‘datenum’ representations appears to be correct.
