Lobachevsky University Database (LUDB) contains 200 records from 200 subjects. ECG signal records were received in the Cyberheart project with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation at the Institute of Information Technology, Mathematics and Mechanics, Nizhny Novgorod Lobachevsky State University. Manual annotation of ECG signal complexes and diagnostics were performed by doctors of medical organizations in Nizhny Novgorod.
The ECG recordings were taken with the Schiller Cardiovit AT-101 cardiograph, with standard 12 leads (i, ii, iii, avr, avl, avf, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6) and a duration of 10 seconds. The sampling frequency of the signals is 500 samples per second. For each ECG signal, the boundaries and peaks of the QRS, P, and T waves were manually determined by cardiologists. In total, the base contains 58429 waves (21966 QRS, 19666 T, 16797 P), if we consider all leads independently.
ECGs were collected from healthy volunteers and patients with various cardiovascular diseases, some patients have pacemakers. The age of the subjects is 11 to 90 years, the average age is 52 years. Gender distribution: 85 women and 115 men.
The first two tables represent the type of rhythm and electrical axis of the heart. This information is provided for all records in the database.
