The impact of the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database

TLDR
The history of the database, its contents, what is learned about database design and construction, and some of the later projects that have been stimulated by both the successes and the limitations of the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database are reviewed.
Abstract
The MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database was the first generally available set of standard test material for evaluation of arrhythmia detectors, and it has been used for that purpose as well as for basic research into cardiac dynamics at about 500 sites worldwide since 1980. It has lived a far longer life than any of its creators ever expected. Together with the American Heart Association Database, it played an interesting role in stimulating manufacturers of arrhythmia analyzers to compete on the basis of objectively measurable performance, and much of the current appreciation of the value of common databases, both for basic research and for medical device development and evaluation, can be attributed to this experience. In this article, we briefly review the history of the database, describe its contents, discuss what we have learned about database design and construction, and take a look at some of the later projects that have been stimulated by both the successes and the limitations of the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database.

Clustering of electrocardiograph signals in computer-aided Holter analysis

TL;DR: A complete process is proposed to obtain the significant beats present within a signal, with a reasonable computational cost, so cardiologists will only have to examine a small but fully representative subset of beats, making this method a very useful tool for medical decision support systems.

A novel multi-module neural network system for imbalanced heartbeats classification

TL;DR: Comparisons with several state-of-the-art methods using standard criteria on three datasets demonstrate the superiority of MMNNS for improving detection of heartbeats and addressing imbalance in ECG heartbe beats classification.

A Real-Time Arrhythmia Heartbeats Classification Algorithm Using Parallel Delta Modulations and Rotated Linear-Kernel Support Vector Machines

TL;DR: A patient dependent rotated linear-kernel support vector machine classifier that combines the global and local classifiers, with three types of feature vectors extracted directly from the Delta modulated bit-streams is proposed.

Non-Adaptive Methods for Fetal ECG Signal Processing: A Review and Appraisal.

TL;DR: It is limiting that a different non-adaptive method works well for each type of signal, but independent component analysis, principal component analysis and wavelet transforms are the most commonly published methods of signal processing and have good accuracy and speed of algorithms.

New method for heart studies.

Norman J. Holter
- 20 Oct 1961 - 
TL;DR: Electrocardiography is proposed to be implemented by the use of long-period, continuous recording of heart potentials with a portable, self-contained instrument together with semiautomatic methods for the rapid analysis of the resulting voluminous data.

The European ST-T database: development, distribution and use

TL;DR: The European project for the development of an ST-T annotated database originated from the 'Concerted Action' on ambulatory monitoring, set up by the European Community in 1985 and includes more than 200 ST segment and almost 300 T-wave changes.
