Abstract:

We have begun to develop a new annotated long term ambulatory ST-T database. The aim of the database is to be a reference set containing a number of well documented ischemic ST episodes, axis-related non-ischemic ST episodes, episodes of slow ST level drift and mixed episodes to support development and evaluation of detectors capable of accurate differentiation of ischemic and non-ischemic ST events, as well as basic research into mechanisms and dynamics of ischemia. We discuss selection criteria, define the events of interest, and describe the annotation procedure.

Samples of the Long-Term ST Database are available here.
