Cardiac arrhythmias are a major health concern around the world, causing morbidity and mortality in a wide range of people. The timely and accurate diagnosis of arrhythmias is critical for optimal clinical management and intervention. Deep learning techniques have developed as powerful tools for detecting arrhythmias in recent years, taking advantage of advances in signal processing and machine learning. This review investigates the use of deep learning approaches to detect arrhythmias via electrocardiogram (ECG) readings. The study includes an in-depth evaluation of 30 papers retrieved from three distinct databases using a structured method. The result indicates that deep learning models can achieve high accuracy like 99.93% as well as high F1 scores such as 99.57%. Furthermore, the study examines current research trends, approaches, and developments in deep learning-based arrhythmia detection, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and hybrid architectures that includes RNN and CNN algorithms. Additionally, the paper investigates the strengths and limits of existing techniques, focusing on critical issues such as dataset heterogeneity, model interpretability, and real-time implementation. Future research and development directions in arrhythmia detection using deep learning are also mentioned. This study seeks to give significant insights for physicians, researchers, and policymakers involved in the development and implementation of sophisticated arrhythmia detection systems, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and cardiac healthcare.
