Abstract

BACKGROUND: State-of-the-art automatic atrial fibrillation (AF) detection models trained on RR-interval (RRI) features generally produce high performance on standard benchmark electrocardiogram (ECG) AF datasets. These models, however, result in a significantly high false positive rates (FPRs) when applied on ECG data collected under free-living ambulatory conditions and in the presence of non-AF arrhythmias.
