AAMI heartbeat classesMIT-BIH heartbeat types

Normal (N)Normal beat
Left bundle branch block beat

Atrial escape beat
Nodal (junctional) escape beat

Ventricular ectopic (V)Premature ventricular contraction
Ventricular escape beat

Supraventricular ectopic (S)Atrial premature contraction
Aberrated atrial premature beat
Nodal (junctional) premature beat
Supraventricular premature beat

Fusion (F)Fusion of nonectopic and ventricular beat

Unknown (Q)Paced beat
