The fifth annual PhysioNet/Computers in Cardiology Challenge focusses on this question: Is it possible to predict if (or when) an episode of atrial fibrillation will end spontaneously?

ECGs obtained from 290 subjects using a non-commercial, prototype recorder developed at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt.

The EVAL_ST tool is an open source tool to evaluate and compare performance and robustness of ST episode detection algorithms. The tool supports all standard and other relevant performance measures, aggregate gross and average statistics, and bootst…

The method of multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis is useful for investigating complexity in physiologic signals and other series that have correlations at multiple (time) scales.

PhysioNet has inaugurated a Sudden Cardiac Death Database to support research and to stimulate progress in this important area of electrophysiology. We initiate this database with 23 complete Holter recordings (originally collected by Scott Greenwal…

Data from the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), a study designed to test the hypothesis that suppression of ventricular premature complexes would improve survival.

ECG recordings created for the Computers in Cardiology Challenge 2004, which focused on predicting spontaneous termination of atrial fibrillation.

ECGSYN generates a synthesized ECG signal with user-settable mean heart rate, number of beats, sampling frequency, waveform morphology (P, Q, R, S, and T timing, amplitude,and duration), standard deviation of the RR interval, and LF/HF ratio (a meas…

Data collected for a prospective cohort study designed to investigate the relationship between sleep disordered breathing and cardiovascular disease.

record is an MS-DOS application that determines what signals and measurements are available from a Hewlett-Packard (Agilent/Philips) Merlin (a.k.a. CMS or Component Monitoring System) patient monitor, and then logs all of the available data to disk …
