aThe rhythm categories sinus rhythm and possible AF were made by separating the measurements indicative for sinus rhythm and AF, and by adding to them insufficient quality measurements as stated in the column headings.
bAF: atrial fibrillation.
cPPG: photoplethysmography.
dECG: electrocardiogram.
ePPV: positive predictive value.
fNPV: negative predictive value.
