Key result
The SE-ECGNet model achieved an F1-score of 99.2% on the MIT-BIH dataset and 89.8% on the Alibaba dataset, outperforming state-of-the-art models by 2% and 3%, respectively.
Why the study?
Manual ECG signal classification is time-consuming and prone to misjudgment, while existing deep learning models struggle with long-term sequence dependencies and underutilize multi-lead information.
The proposed SE-ECGNet model significantly improves the automated classification of multi-lead ECG signals by treating them as 2-dimensional matrices and combining multi-scale 2-D and 1-D convolution blocks.

Enhances automated ECG classification benchmarks; extends convolutional approaches but leaves open prospective clinical validation.
The classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, which takes much time and suffers from a high rate of misjudgment, is recognized as an extremely challenging task for cardiologists. The major difficulty of the ECG signals classification is caused by the long-term sequence dependencies. Most existing approaches for ECG signal classification use Recurrent Neural Network models, e.g., LSTM and GRU, which are unable to extract accurate features for such long sequences. Other approaches utilize 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), such as ResNet or its variant, and they can not make good use of the multi-lead information from ECG signals.Based on the above observations, we develop a multi-scale deep residual network for the ECG signal classification task. We are the first to propose to treat the multi-lead signal as a 2-dimensional matrix and combines multi-scale 2-D convolution blocks with 1-D convolution blocks for feature extraction. Our proposed model achieves 99.2% F1-score in the MIT-BIH dataset and 89.4% F1-score in Alibaba dataset and outperforms the state-of-the-art performance by 2% and 3%, respectively, view related code and data at https://github.com/Amadeuszhao/SE-ECGNet
