The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the clinical performance of SMD-AFECG, an artificial intelligence-based medical device software that predicts the risk of atrial fibrillation occurring within 2 hours using single-lead electrocardiogram data. A total of 797 eligible electrocardiogram datasets collected through VitalDB at Seoul National University Hospital will be included. The performance of SMD-AFECG will be evaluated separately for new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients without a previous history of atrial fibrillation (NOAF) and atrial fibrillation episodes in patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation (RAF). Two physicians blinded to the software results will review the electrocardiogram data and relevant medical records to establish the reference-standard classification. The blinded electrocardiogram datasets will then be analyzed using SMD-AFECG, and the software-generated predictions will be compared with the reference standard to evaluate the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for NOAF and RAF.
Inclusion Criteria:
Existing continuous single-lead electrocardiogram data collected through VitalDB at Seoul National University Hospital from September 1, 2022, to before September 30, 2025
Participant aged 19 years or older at the time of electrocardiogram data collection
Availability of an electrocardiogram dataset meeting one of the following criteria:
If atrial fibrillation occurred within 2 hours after the start of electrocardiogram recording, availability of electrocardiogram data from the start of recording through up to 1 hour after atrial fibrillation onset, with a minimum recorded electrocardiogram duration of 10 minutes

Single-lead electrocardiogram datasets from patients without a previous history of atrial fibrillation that include the first atrial fibrillation episode. The datasets include an atrial fibrillation-free electrocardiogram period before the onset of atrial fibrillation and electrocardiogram data following its onset. SMD-AFECG will be retrospectively applied to estimate the risk of atrial fibrillation occurring within 2 hours.
Single-lead electrocardiogram datasets from patients without a previous history of atrial fibrillation and without an atrial fibrillation episode during the predefined assessment period. The datasets include a continuous atrial fibrillation-free electrocardiogram period before a selected index time and electrocardiogram data following the index time. SMD-AFECG will be retrospectively applied to estimate the risk of atrial fibrillation occurring within 2 hours.
Single-lead electrocardiogram datasets from patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation that include an atrial fibrillation episode. The datasets include an atrial fibrillation-free electrocardiogram period before the onset of atrial fibrillation and electrocardiogram data following its onset. SMD-AFECG will be retrospectively applied to estimate the risk of atrial fibrillation occurring within 2 hours.
Single-lead electrocardiogram datasets from patients with a previous history of atrial fibrillation and without an atrial fibrillation episode during the predefined assessment period. The datasets include a continuous atrial fibrillation-free electrocardiogram period before a selected index time and electrocardiogram data following the index time. SMD-AFECG will be retrospectively applied to estimate the risk of atrial fibrillation occurring within 2 hours.
