A novel hybrid dilated-LSTM architecture demonstrates high-fidelity ECG denoising, preserving critical cardiac morphology like P-waves and QRS complexes.
Addressing the critical challenge of signal degradation in biosensor cardiac monitoring, this paper introduces an efficient hybrid dilated–long short-term memory (LSTM) with residual learning (HDLR), which is a novel architecture engineered for a high-fidelity electrocardiogram (ECG) denoising signal. The proposed HDLR model synergistically integrates with dilated convolutions to expand the receptive field for multi-scale feature extraction. This is an LSTM-based backbone used to resolve long term temporal dependencies with residual learning paths to stabilize gradient flow and accelerate convergence. The proposed HDLR architecture integrates three core functional components with dilated convolutional layers utilized for local temporal feature extraction, where varying dilation rates expand the receptive field to capture both local waveform patterns and broader morphological structures without increasing computational complexity. Experimental results demonstrate a significant leap in performance, with the HDLR model achieving a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.002176, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 14.4420 dB, and a Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.9822. Beyond quantitative metrics, the proposed HDLR architecture exhibits exceptional robustness in preserving cardiac morphology, specifically the P-wave and QRS complex of the ECG signal under stochastic noise conditions. These findings underscore the HDLR model’s potential as a backbone for next generation, real time diagnostic systems in intelligent healthcare.
