Spontaneous Termination of Atrial Fibrillation: A Challenge from PhysioNet and Computers in Cardiology 2004

摘要

The fifth annual PhysioNet/Computers in Cardiology Challenge asked if it is possible to predict if (or when) an episode of atrial fibrillation (AF) will end spontaneously. We prepared a set of AF recordings including examples of both sustained and spontaneously terminating AF; transitions to sinus rhythm were not shown in these examples. We posted the recordings on PhysioNet, and invited participants to classify them. Over twenty teams participated, and most were able to distinguish between sustained and spontaneously terminating AF with high accuracy.
