An annotated database containing 70 nighttime ECG recordings was created to support quantitative studies on the accuracy of ECG-based detection of sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea (n=70)
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder with a high prevalence in the adult male population. Sleep apnea is regarded as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular sequelae such as ischemic heart attacks and stroke. The diagnosis of sleep apnea requires polysomnographic studies in sleep laboratories with expensive equipment and attending personnel. Sleep apnea can be treated effectively using nasal ventilation therapy (nCPAP). Early recognition and selection of patients with sleep related breathing disorders is an important task. Although it has been suggested that this can be done on the basis of the ECG, careful quantitative studies of the accuracy of such techniques are needed. An annotated database with 70 nighttime ECG recordings has been created to support such studies. The annotations were based on visual scoring of disordered breathing during sleep.
