This database contains 8,528 ECG recordings that were provided as a public training set for use in the 2017 PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge. These recordings were collected using an AliveCor hand-held device, which uploads the recording automatically through an application on the user's mobile phone. These recordings, along with 3,658 recordings that have been retained as a hidden test set, were provided by AliveCor for use in the Challenge.

ECG recordings were sampled at 300 Hz and band-pass filtered by the AliveCor device. All data are provided in MATLAB V4 WFDB-compliant format (each including a .mat file containing the ECG and a .hea file containing the waveform information). Each recording has been classified as either normal rhythm, atrial fibrillation, other rhythm, or "too noisy to classify". See the main Challenge page for more information.

A subset of this database (300 records) is designated as the "validation" set. This subset was used by the automated scoring system to verify that the participant's algorithm was working as intended. See Sandbox Evaluation of Entries in PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenges for more information.
