<H3>Abstract:</H3>
<DIV>
We present the Long Term ST Database, a collection of eighty 24-hour two and three
lead ECG records from ambulatory subjects with transient ST segment abnormalities.
The database provides a comprehensive standard research resource for quantitatively
assessing the performance of automated detectors of transient ischemia, and for
supporting basic research into the mechanisms and dynamics of transient ischemia.
Records of the database contain annotated significant transient ischemic ST episodes,
non-ischemic ST episodes caused by heart-rate related changes, non-ischemic ST events
due to axis shifts or QRS conduction changes, and individual QRS and
rhythm annotations, all made by human experts.
