Deep Learning Approach for Arrhythmia Detection Using STFT-Based Spectrogram
摘要
Arrhythmia is a medical condition where a patient experiences an irregular heartbeat. The presence of arrhythmia indicates a much more serious heart condition, which, if not treated, may worsen and even lead to death. Hence, there is a requirement for a system that can detect the presence of such a condition. The patient’s ECG recordings were first converted into a spectrogram using short-time Fourier transform. These resultant spectrogram images were given as input to VGGNet models for arrhythmia classification. The VGG16 model exhibited 98.87% accuracy, 99.18% precision, 99.14% recall, and 97.94% specificity. On the other hand, VGG19 achieved 98.83% accuracy, 99.18% precision, 99.18% recall, and 97.95% specificity.
