A scientific repository to support the research and development of technologies related to quantitative electrocardiography: The Telemetric and Holter ECG Warehouse (THEW)

Abstract

We implemented an ECG data-warehousing project to promote cross-fertilization of scientific knowledge, resources and ideas that will advance the understanding of quantitative ECG and cardiac safety. While other open ECG databases are available, our Telemetric and Holter ECG Warehouse (THEW) proposes unique sets of continuous digital ECGs recorded in cardiac patients, healthy individuals and individuals exposed to non-cardiac and cardiac drugs. In this paper, we present briefly the content and the current research triggered by this initiative.
