title: The Telemetric and Holter ECG Warehouse (THEW): the first three years of development and research.
abstract: The Telemetric and Holter ECG Warehouse (THEW) hosts more than 3700 digital 24-Holter ECG recordings from 13 independent studies. In addition to the ECGs, the repository includes patient information in separate clinical database with content varying according to the study focus. In its third year of activities, the THEW database has been accessed by researchers from 37 universities and 16 corporations located in 16 countries worldwide. Twenty publications were released primarily focusing on the development and validation of ECG-based technologies. This communication describes the content of the databases of the repository with brief summary of the research and development projects completed using these data.
