Open source ECG analysis

Hamilton, P.·2003·Computers in Cardiology

Abstract

Each year companies and researchers expend significant resources developing basic beat detection and classification software. In an effort to reduce this duplication of effort we are developing and making available open source ECG analysis software. Our open source QRS detectors have sensitivities and positive predictivities that are close to 99.8% on the MIT/BIH and AHA arrhythmia databases. Our beat classifier has a sensitivity of 93.91% and a positive predictivity of 96.48% on the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database and a sensitivity of 93.2% and a positive predictivity of 97.83% on the AHA arrhythmia database. Since we have posted our source code, over 350 users have downloaded our ECG analysis software. Downloads have been nearly equally divided between students, researchers, and commercial developers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
