Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. It is due to abnormal electrical activity within the atria of the heart, causing them to fibrillate. It is characterized by tachyarrhythmia, which means that the heart rate is often high. Several recent studies have been performed that demonstrate the effectiveness of AF detection using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. This can possibly lead to an affordable and easy-to-wear alternative for AF detection. In this paper, we present a lightweight PPG-based AF detection technique. The proposed approach leverages the scalogram of segmented PPG signals and a lightweight, customized CNN-based network for efficient AF detection. The proposed technique is capable of achieving a notable maximum accuracy of 100% across the set of experiments performed on a public MIMIC Perform dataset.

摘要

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. It is due to abnormal electrical activity within the atria of the heart, causing them to fibrillate. It is characterized by tachyarrhythmia, which means that the heart rate is often high. Several recent studies have been performed that demonstrate the effectiveness of AF detection using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. This can possibly lead to an affordable and easy-to-wear alternative for AF detection. In this paper, we present a lightweight PPG-based AF detection technique. The proposed approach leverages the scalogram of segmented PPG signals and a lightweight, customized CNN-based network for efficient AF detection. The proposed technique is capable of achieving a notable maximum accuracy of 100% across the set of experiments performed on a public MIMIC Perform dataset.
