Abstract

OBJECTIVES: An image-based ECG dataset incorporating visual imperfections common to paper-based ECGs, which are typically scanned or photographed into electronic health records, could facilitate clinically useful artificial intelligence (AI)-ECG algorithm development. This study aimed to create a high-fidelity, synthetic image-based ECG dataset.
