Predicting Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter: The PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2001

Following the success of the first Computers in Cardiology Challenge, we are pleased to offer a new challenge from PhysioNet and Computers in Cardiology 2001. The challenge is to develop a fully automated method to predict the onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (PAF), based on the ECG prior to the event. The goal of the contest is to stimulate effort and advance the state of the art in this clinically significant problem, and to foster both friendly competition and wide-ranging collaborations.

继首届计算机心脏病学挑战赛的成功举办之后，我们荣幸地向大家推出由PhysioNet与2001年计算机心脏病学联合举办的新一轮挑战赛。本次挑战旨在开发一种基于事件发生前心电图（ECG）的完全自动化方法，以预测阵发性房颤/房扑（PAF）的发作。本竞赛的宗旨在于激发研究热情，推动该临床重要问题的技术前沿，并促进友好竞争和广泛合作。
