T-Wave Alternans Challenge Database
This database has been assembled for the
PhysioNet/Computers in Cardiology Challenge 2008.
It contains 100 multichannel ECG records sampled at 500 Hz with 16 bit
resolution over a ± 32 mV range. The subjects include patients with
myocardial infarctions, transient ischemia, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and
other risk factors for sudden cardiac death, as well as healthy controls and
synthetic cases with calibrated amounts of T-wave alternans. Specific
information about individual records will be posted here after the conclusion
of the Challenge in September 2008.
Since these records come from a variety of sources, some of them have been
resampled and scaled from original recordings sampled at higher or lower
resolution in order to present them in a uniform format here. In most cases,
each record contains the standard 12 diagnostic ECG signals, but a few contain
only 2 or 3 signals. Each record is approximately two minutes in duration.
Each record consists of 3 files in standard PhysioBank format:
- twann.hea: a short (text) header file that specifies the
format of the record including the number and names of the signals.
- twann.dat: a long (binary) signal file containing the
digitized signals.
- twann.qrs: a medium-length (binary) annotation file
containing the times of occurrence of the QRS complexes within the record.
Although a few of the records contain ectopic beats, all beats are marked
within the .qrs files as if normal.
For convenience, the entire collection of records in this directory
(.hea, .dat, and .qrs files) can be downloaded
in a single compressed archive file,
twadb.tar.gz (about 72 Mb).
Instructions for unpacking .tar.gz archive files are
here.
The WFDB Software Package, freely available
from this site, contains a wide variety of open-source applications for
reading, viewing, reformatting, and analyzing these files and those belonging
to other PhysioBank records. You can also write your own software that reads
these files using the WFDB library included in the WFDB Software Package.
Alternatively, see How to obtain
PhysioBank data in text form.
