Yes, Table 5 shows that N is 18 without CHF and 15 with CHF. These come from separate data sets that have EKG data sampled at different frequencies.

Basically, they took 18 electrocardiographic tracings (sampled at 128 Hz) from participants without CHF, of whom 13 come from women. They compared them to 15 electrocardiographic tracings (sampled at 250 Hz) from participants with CHF, of whom 4 come from women.
