Electrocardiogram Classification Using Convolutional Neural Network
摘要
Circulation of Blood relies significantly precise electrical initiation. Arrhythmias can arise from any disturbance in the excitatory wave’s regular pattern in the heart. Electrocardiograms (ECG) are a popular diagnostic tool due to their speed, affordability, and non-invasive nature. This article presents a method for classifying ECGs that makes use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs) and the Continuous Wavelet Transform. Using Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), ECG signals are broken down into different time–frequency parts, while CNN extracts feature from the resulting 2D-scalogram. To further enhance the model considering the RR interval for arrhythmia diagnosis, 4 RR interval parameters are taken out and connected to CNN parameters to provide an ECG that is completely integrated classifier layer. This proposed model examines the impact of CNN and CWT on ECG classification alongside RR intervals. After training Accuracy of 97.27% was achieved. Based on the proposed method further models can designed for efficient clinical applications.
