Key result
The LightX3ECG deep learning system achieved F1 scores of 0.9718 and 0.8004 on the Chapman and CPSC-2018 datasets respectively, outperforming other state-of-the-art methods with lower computational cost.
Why the study?
Standard 12-lead ECG is primarily used for identifying cardiovascular abnormalities, but using fewer leads enables more prevalent recording by portable or wearable devices.
A novel lightweight and explainable deep learning system using only three ECG leads was developed to identify cardiovascular abnormalities, potentially enabling broader use in portable and wearable devices.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of heart and blood vessel disorders that is one of the most serious dangers to human health, and the number of such patients is still growing. Early and accurate detection plays a key role in successful treatment and intervention. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the gold standard for identifying a variety of cardiovascular abnormalities. In clinical practices and most of the current research, standard 12-lead ECG is mainly used. However, using a lower number of leads can make ECG more prevalent as it can be conveniently recorded by portable or wearable devices. In this research, we develop a novel deep learning system to accurately identify multiple cardiovascular abnormalities by using only three ECG leads.

Le et al. (2022) studied Cardiovascular abnormalities (n=17,523). LightX3ECG (3-lead ECG deep learning system) vs. Other deep learning methods (1D-ResNet34, 1D-SEResNet34, TI-ResNet18, InceptionTime) was evaluated on Classification performance (F1 score). The LightX3ECG deep learning system achieved F1 scores of 0.9718 and 0.8004 on the Chapman and CPSC-2018 datasets respectively, outperforming other state-of-the-art methods with lower computational cost.
