Key result
The proposed small CNN model achieved an overall accuracy of 91.20% compared to 78.26% for the GoogLeNet model in classifying ECG signals.
Why the study?
Arrhythmia poses a serious risk to patient health, and early, accurate detection from ECG signals using deep learning is essential for immediate treatment and intervention.
Does a custom small CNN model improve the classification accuracy of arrhythmias from ECG signals compared to the GoogLeNet model?
Does a custom small CNN model improve the classification accuracy of arrhythmias from ECG signals compared to the GoogLeNet model?
A streamlined custom CNN can accurately and efficiently classify arrhythmias and heart failure from ECG signals, outperforming larger pretrained models like GoogLeNet while requiring fewer parameters and less training time.
Small custom CNNs may enable efficient ECG arrhythmia classification; leaves open prospective clinical validation before practice adoption.
Heart diseases is the world's principal cause of death, and arrhythmia poses a serious risk to the health of the patient. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals can be used to detect arrhythmia early and accurately, which is essential for immediate treatment and intervention. Deep learning approaches have played an important role in automatically identifying complicated patterns from ECG data, which can be further used to identify arrhythmia. In this paper, deep-learning-based methods for arrhythmia identification using ECG signals are thoroughly studied and their performances evaluated on the basis of accuracy, specificity, precision, and F1 score. We propose the development of a small CNN, and its performance is compared against pretrained models like GoogLeNet. The comparative study demonstrates the promising potential of deep-learning-based arrhythmia identification using ECG signals.
