A method to extract realistic artifacts from electrocardiogram recordings for robust algorithm testing

We present a method to estimate device-specific signal noise and artifacts from ECG records. This method can be applied to obtain noise estimates from healthy subjects on any ECG lead, allowing a simple device-specific recording. The proposed approach is assessed using the MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database recordings combined with simulated ECGs.
