Abstract:
Noninvasive electromechanical assessment of cardiovascular function is emerging as a cost-effective method for diagnosis of heart failure and arterial diseases, and for telemedical monitoring of blood pressure and neural disorders. It encompasses simultaneous acquisition of electrocardiographic, phonocardiographic, arterial-pulse, chest-vibration, bioimpedance and other waveforms. The phases and amplitudes of these waveforms are used for construction of disease biomarkers. The procedure includes corrections of biomarker values to daily variation and excursions of heart rate. However, datasets that enable a systematic study of the effects of heart rate on mechanical waveforms are currently not available. Here, we describe SensSmartTech - the first dataset of multiparametric cardiovascular signals systematically measured in a large span of heart rates from 52 to 182 beats per minute, achieved by running on a treadmill. Besides providing the data for biomarker correction, the dataset enables new insights into the cardio-respiratory and electro-mechanical couplings in the cardiovascular system.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
