MIMIC PERform AF Dataset


This dataset contains ECG and PPG recordings of 20-minute duration, some of which were acquired during atrial fibrillation (AF), and the rest were acquired during normal sinus rhythm.

Protocol 35 critically-ill adults during routine clinical care. Data were measured using a bedside monitor at 125 Hz. Manual labels of AF and non-AF subjects were obtained from here, as described in [1]. Data were extracted from the MIMIC-III Waveform Database Matched Subset.

Recreating the dataset

The dataset can be recreated from scratch by taking the following steps:

  1. Download the following MATLAB script: collate_mimic_perform_af_dataset.
  2. Modify the MATLAB script by inserting the up.paths.root_folder and up.paths.save_folder into the setup_up function.
  3. Note: The duration of recordings provided by the script can be adjusted with the up.settings.req_durn variable within the setup_up function.
  4. Run the MATLAB script to download the required files from PhysioNet, import the data into MATLAB, and collate the data into a single MATLAB data file, ready for analysis.
