Abstract: 1.8 million ECGs derived from multiscale simulations of cardiac electrophysiology of ventricular extrasystoles. 1000 anatomical variants of a bi-ventricular mesh x 600 excitation origins x 3 heart posiitions in the torso.
TechnicalRemarks: This dataset contains about 1.8 million body surface potentials (BSPs) simulated using 1000 heart models generated using a statistical shape model.
It has been used in [1,1a]. Here, only the noise-free BSPs are provided.
Due to its size, this is a multi-part dataset.

Each archive XXXX-YYYY.tar contains 20 heart models and corresponding signals. Each subdirectory within the archive contains:
- heart.vtp:
A triangle mesh of the heart including the point data:
- ab, rt, rtCos, rtSin, tm, tv: Consistent biventricular coordinates [2].
- class: Boundary regions used as input for the computation of fiber orientations [3].
-
trigger: 1-based indices of the ca. 600 foci (-1000 if not a focus).
-
heart_transform_matrices.mat:
A 1 x 3 cell array containing 4 x 4 transformation matrices that
describe the pose of the heart within the torso.
Apply the matrix from heart_transform_matrices.mat to the nodes in heart.vtp.
-
actTimes.mat:
A numNodes x numFoci matrix of activation times computed using the fast iterative method [4,5]
(conduction velocity in fiber direction: 1 m/s, perpendicular to fiber direction: 1/2.7 m/s).
-
bsp.mat:
- bsp: A numElectrodes x numTimeSamples x numHeartPoses x numFoci matrix of BSPs computed by aligning a transmembrane voltage template with
scaled activation times (see actTimeScalings.mat below) and solving the second bidomain equation using the boundary element method [6].
- bspEnd: Time index of the end of depolarization (largest scaled activation time).
The archive general.tar contains heart-model-independent data and parameters used to generate the individual heart models:
- torso.vtp:
A triangle mesh of the torso including the point data:
-
electrodes: 1-based indices of the 200 electrodes (-1000 if not an electrode).
-
heart_meanshape.vtp:
A triangle mesh of the mean shape of the statistical shape model [7,8].
-
heart_shapemodel.mat:
- pc: A 3*numNodes x numModes matrix of principal components (numModes = 100).
- var: A numModes x 1 vector of variances.
-
weights: A numModes x numModels matrix of weights used to generate the 1000 heart models.
-
heart_alignment_matrix.mat:
A 4 x 4 transformation matrix describing the alignment of the mean shape with the torso-specific heart. Only to be appleid to node coordinates in within general.tar (already contained in heart_transform_matrices.mat).
-
heart_transform_params.mat:
A struct containing roll, pitch, yaw angles and x, y, z translations used to generate the heart_transform_matrices.mat (see above).
-
fiber_angles.mat:
- alphaEndo: numModels x 1 vector of endocardial fiber angles used to generate fiber orientations.
-
alphaEpi: numModels x 1 vector of epicardial fiber angles used to generate fiber orientations.
-
actTimeScalings.mat:
-
A numModels x numFoci matrix of factors used to scale the activation times.
-
tmv_template.mat:
The transmembrane voltage time course used to compute BSPs.
-
heart_classes.vtp:
A coarse triangle mesh of the mean shape used for fuzzy classification.
-
heart_classes_subdiv.vtp:
A subdivided version of the coarse triangle mesh of the mean shape used to convert between Cobiveco and barycentric coordinates.
