MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database

Since 1975, our laboratories at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital (now the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) and at MIT have supported our own research into arrhythmia analysis and related subjects. One of the first major products of that effort was the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, which we completed and began distributing in 1980. The database was the first generally available set of standard test material for evaluation of arrhythmia detectors, and has been used for that purpose as well as for basic research into cardiac dynamics at more than 500 sites worldwide. Originally, we distributed the database on 9-track half-inch digital tape at 800 and 1600 bpi, and on quarter-inch IRIG-format FM analog tape. In August, 1989, we produced a CD-ROM version of the database.

自1975年起，我们设于波士顿贝斯以色列医院（现贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心）与麻省理工学院（MIT）的实验室，为我们在心律失常分析及相关领域的自主研究提供支撑。此项研究产出的首批核心成果之一，便是我们于1980年完成并启动分发的MIT-BIH心律失常数据库（MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database）。该数据库是全球首个可公开获取的、用于评估心律失常检测器的标准化测试数据集，目前已被全球超过500家机构用于此类评估工作，以及心脏动力学基础研究。最初，我们以两种介质分发该数据库：分别为比特率800与1600 bpi的9轨半英寸数字磁带，以及四分之一英寸IRIG格式调频模拟磁带。1989年8月，我们推出了该数据库的CD-ROM光盘版本。
