QT Database (Nov. 16, 1999, midnight)

The QT Database is now on-line, with over 100 fifteen-minute two-lead ECG recordings (many excerpted from other databases), with onset, peak, and end markers for P, QRS, T, and (where present) U waves of from 30 to 50 selected beats in each recording.

Abstract

Over 100 fifteen-minute two-lead ECG recordings (many excerpted from other databases), with onset, peak, and end markers for P, QRS, T, and (where present) U waves of from 30 to 50 selected beats in each recording.

Data Description

Each of the 105 records consists of a (text) header file, a (binary) signal file, and up to 9 (binary) annotation files, identified by suffix:

Suffix	Meaning
.hea	header file, describing signal file contents and format
.dat	signal file
.atr	reference beat annotations from original database (not available in all cases)
.man	reference beat annotations for selected beats only
.q1c	manually determined waveform boundary measurements for selected beats (annotator 1 only -- second pass)
.q2c	manually determined waveform boundary measurements for selected beats (annotator 2 only -- second pass; available for only 11 records)
.qt1	manually determined waveform boundary measurements for selected beats (annotator 1 only -- first pass)
.qt2	manually determined waveform boundary measurements for selected beats (annotator 2 only -- first pass; available for only 11 records)
.pu	automatically determined waveform boundary measurements for all beats (based on both signals)
.pu0	automatically determined waveform boundary measurements for all beats (based on signal 0 only)
.pu1	automatically determined waveform boundary measurements for all beats (based on signal 1 only)

For further details about these files, see the referenced paper.
