This database includes long-term ECG recordings from 15 subjects (11
men, aged 22 to 71, and 4 women, aged 54 to 63) with severe congestive
heart failure (NYHA class 3–4). This group of subjects was part of a
larger study group receiving conventional medical therapy
prior to receiving the oral inotropic agent, milrinone.
Further details about the larger study group are available in
the first reference cited above. A number of additional studies have made use of these
recordings; see the additional references below.
The individual recordings are each about 20 hours in duration, and
contain two ECG signals each sampled at 250 samples per second with
12-bit resolution over a range of ±10 millivolts. The original
analog recordings were made at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital (now the
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) using ambulatory ECG recorders with a
typical recording bandwidth of approximately 0.1 Hz to 40 Hz. Annotation
files (with the suffix .ecg) were prepared using an automated
detector and have not been corrected manually.
