MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation (23 records)
This database includes 25 long-term ECG recordings of human subjects with atrial fibrillation (mostly paroxysmal). Of these, 23 records have 10 hours duration and include two ECG signals each sampled at 250 samples per second with 12-bit resolution over a range of ±10 millivolts. more...
The original analog recordings were made at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital (now the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) using ambulatory ECG recorders with a typical recording bandwidth of approximately 0.1 Hz to 40 Hz. The rhythm annotation files (with the suffix .atr) were prepared manually; these contain rhythm annotations of types (AFIB (atrial fibrillation), (AFL (atrial flutter), (J (AV junctional rhythm), and (N (used to indicate all other rhythms). Beat annotation files (with the suffix .qrs) were prepared using an automated detector and have not been corrected manually. For some records, manually corrected beat annotation files (with the suffix .qrsc) are available.
