Abstract
Abnormal cardiac functionality produces irregular heart rhythms which are commonly known as arrhythmias. In some conditions, arrhythmias are treated as very dangerous which may lead to sudden cardiac arrest. The incidence and prevalence of cardiac anomalies seeks early detection of arrhythmias using automated classification techniques. In the past, numerous automated arrhythmia detection techniques have been developed that are based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis. Focusing on the prospective research in this field, this article reports a comprehensive review of existing techniques that are obtained using search engines such as IEEE explore, Google scholar and science direct. Based on the review, the existing techniques are broadly categorized into two types: machine-learning and deep-learning-based techniques. In this study, it is noticed that the performance of the machine-learning-based arrhythmia detection techniques depend on pre-processing of ECG signal, R-peaks detection, features extraction and classification tools while the deep-learning-based techniques do not require the features extraction step. Generally, the existing techniques utilize Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel Hospital arrhythmia database to evaluate the classification performance. The classification performance of automated techniques also depends on ECG data used for training and testing of the classifier. It is expected that the performance should be evaluated using a variety of ECG signals including the cases of inter-patient and intra-patient paradigm. The existing techniques also require to deal with the class-imbalance problem. In addition to this, a specific partition-ratio between training and testing datasets should be maintained for fair comparison of performance of different techniques.

Abstract
Extreme bradycardia, extreme tachycardia, ventricular flutter fib, and ventricular tachycardia are four malignant arrhythmias (MAs) that lead to sudden cardiac death. It is very important to detect them in daily life. The arterial blood pressure (ABP) signal contains abundant pathological information about four MAs and is easy to be recorded under domestic conditions. Thus, a synthesis-by-analysis (SA) modeling method for ABP signal was proposed to detect the four MAs in this study. The average models of MAs and healthy subjects were obtained by SA modeling, and the change of each ABP wave was quantitively described by twelve parameters of wave models. Then, the probabilistic neural network (PNN) and random forest (RF) are trained to detect the MAs. The experimental data were employed from Fantasia and the 2015 PhysioNet/CinC Challenge databases. The SA modeling results show that some pathological and physiological changes could be extracted from the average models. The two-sample ks-test results between different groups are markedly different (h = 1, p < 0.05). The detection results show that the performances of PPN classifiers are less than that of RF. The kappa coefficients (KC) for the RF classifiers are 97.167 ± 1.46 %, 97.888 ± 0.808 %, 99.895 ± 0.545 %, 98.575 ± 1.683 % and 92.241 ± 1.517 %, respectively. The mean KC is 97.083 ± 0.67 %. Compared to the performance of some existing studies, the proposed method has better performance and is potential to diagnose MAs in m-health.

Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis has become significant in recent years as cardiac arrhythmia shares a major portion of all mortality worldwide. To detect these arrhythmias, computer-assisted algorithms play a pivotal role as beat-by-beat monitoring of holter ECG signals is required. In this paper, a morphological arrhythmia classification algorithm has been proposed to classify seven different ECG beats, namely Normal Beat (N), Left Bundle Branch Block Beat (L), Right Bundle Branch Block Beat (R), Atrial Premature Contraction Beat (A), Premature Ventricular Contraction Beat (V), Fusion of Normal and Ventricle Beat (F) and Pace Beat (P). A novel feature set of 25 attributes has been extracted from each ECG beat and ranked using the Fuzzy Entropy-based feature selection (FEBFS) technique. In addition, two distinct classifiers, support vector machine with radial basis function as the kernel (SVM-RBF) and weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN), are used to categorize ECG beats, and their performances are also evaluated after adjusting vital parameters. The performance of classifiers is compared for four different ECG beat segmentation approaches and further analyzed using three similarity measurement techniques and two fuzzy entropy methods while feature selection. The classifier results are also cross-validated using a 10-fold cross-validation scheme, and the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database has been used to validate the proposed work. After selecting 21 highly ranked features, WKNN achieves the best results with the nearest neighbor value K = 3 and cityblock distance metrics, with Average Sensitivity (Sen) = 94.89%, Positive Predictivity (Ppre) = 97.13%, Specificity (Spe) = 99.72%, F1 Score = 95.95%, and Overall Accuracy (Acc) = 99.15%. The novelty of this work relies on formulating a unique feature set, including proposed symbolic features, followed by the FEBFS technique making this algorithm efficient and reliable for morphological arrhythmia classification. The above results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs better than many existing state-of-the-art works.

Abstract
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a standard diagnostic tool for evaluating the overall heart's electrical activity and is vital for detecting many cardiovascular diseases. Classifying ECG recordings using deep neural networks has been investigated in literature and has shown very good performance. However, this performance assumes that the training data is centralized, which is often not the case in real-life scenarios, where data resides in multiple places and only a small portion of it is labeled. Therefore, in this work, we propose an ECG classification system that focuses on preserving data privacy and enhancing overall system efficiency. We analyzed the complexity of previously proposed deep learning-based models and showed that the temporal convolutional network-based models (TCN) were the most efficient. Then, we built on the TCN models a modified split-learning (SL) system that achieves the same classification performance as the basic SL but reduces the communication overhead between the server and the client by 71.7% as well as reducing the computations at the client by 46.5% compared to the original SL system based on the TCN network. Finally, we implement semi-supervised learning in our system to enhance its classification performance by 9.1%-15.7%, when the training data consists only of 10% labeled data. We have tested our proposed system on a test IoT setup and it achieved satisfactory classification accuracy while being private and energy efficient for green-AI applications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Arrhythmias are an important group of cardiovascular diseases. The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram signals are an important tool for diagnosing arrhythmias. Although 12-lead electrocardiogram signals provide more comprehensive arrhythmia information than single-lead electrocardiogram signals, it is difficult to effectively fuse information between different leads. In addition, most of the current researches working on automatic diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias are based on modeling and analysis of single-mode features extracted from one-dimensional electrocardiogram sequences, ignoring the frequency domain features of electrocardiogram signals. Therefore, developing an automatic arrhythmia detection algorithm based on 12-lead electrocardiogram with high accuracy and strong generalization ability is still challenging. In this paper, a multimodal feature fusion model based on the mechanism is developed. This model utilizes a dual channel deep neural network to extract different dimensional features from one-dimensional and two-dimensional electrocardiogram time-frequency maps, and combines attention mechanism to effectively fuse the important features of 12-lead, thereby obtaining richer arrhythmia information and ultimately achieving accurate classification of nine types of arrhythmia signals. This study used electrocardiogram signals from a mixed dataset to train, validate, and evaluate the model, with an average of F1 score and average accuracy reached 0.85 and 0.97, respectively. Experimental results show that our algorithm has stable and reliable performance, so it is expected to have good practical application potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Atrial Tachycardia (AT) and Left Atrial Enlargement (LAE) are atrial diseases that are significant precursors to Atrial Fibrillation (AF). There are ML models for ECG classification; clinical features-based classification is required. The suggested work aims to create stacked ML models that categorize Sinus Rhythm (SR), Sinus Tachycardia (ST), AT, and LAE signals based on clinical parameters for AF prognosis. METHODS The classification was based on thirteen clinical parameters, such as amplitude, time domain ECG aspects, and P-Wave Indices (PWI), such as the ratio of P-wave length and amplitude ((P (ms)/P (µV)), P-wave area (µV*ms), and P-wave terminal force (PTFV1(µV*ms). Apart from classifying the ECG signals, the stacked ML models prioritized the clinical features using a pie formula-based technique. RESULTS The Stack 1 model achieves 99% accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and F1 score, while the Stack 2 model achieves 91%, 91%, 94%, and 92% for identifying SR, ST, LAE, and AT, respectively. Both stack models obtained a computational time of 0.06 seconds. PTFV1 (µV*ms), P (ms)/P (µV)), and P-wave area (µV*ms) were ranked as crucial clinical features. CONCLUSION Clinical feature-based stacking ML models may help doctors obtain insight into important clinical ECG aspects for early AF prediction.

Abstract
The joint time-frequency analysis method represents a signal in both time and frequency. Thus, it provides more information compared to other one-dimensional methods. Several researchers recently used time-frequency methods such as the wavelet transform, short-time Fourier transform, empirical mode decomposition and reported impressive results in various electrophysiological studies. The current review provides comprehensive knowledge about different time-frequency methods and their applications in various ECG-based analyses. Typical applications include ECG signal denoising, arrhythmia detection, sleep apnea detection, biometric identification, emotion detection, and driver drowsiness detection. The paper also discusses the limitations of these methods. The review will form a reference for future researchers willing to conduct research in the same field.

Abstract
Early and accurate classification of arrhythmia helps the experts to select the treatment for the patient to increase the recovery rate. The deep learning method of convolution neural network (CNN) is used for classification, and this has an overfitting problem. In this research, the multi-task group bi-directional long short term memory (MTGBi-LSTM) method is proposed to increases the performance of arrhythmia classification. The multi-task learning technique learns two ECG signals in shared representation for effective learning. The global and intra LSTM method selects the relevant feature and easily escapes from local optima. The MTGBi-LSTM model learns the unique features in shared representation that helps to overcome overfitting problem and increases the learning rate of the model. The MTGBi-LSTM model in arrhythmia classification is evaluated on MIT-BIH dataset. The MTGBi-LSTM model has 96.48% accuracy, 97.73% sensitivity, existing AFibNet has 96.36% accuracy, and 93.65% sensitivity for arrhythmia classification in CPSC 2018 dataset.

Abstract
Aiming at arrhythmia heartbeats classification, a novel multifeature fusion deep learning-based method is proposed. The stationary wavelet transforms (SWT) and RR interval features are firstly extracted. Based on the traditional one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), a parallel multibranch convolutional network is designed for training. The subband of SWT is input into the multiscale 1D-CNN separately. The output fused with RR interval features are fed to the fully connected layer for classification. To achieve the lightweight network while maintaining the powerful inference capability of the multibranch structure, the redundant branches of the network are removed by reparameterization. Experimental results and analysis show that it outperforms existing methods by many in arrhythmic heartbeat classification.

Abstract
As the number of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases increases every year, it becomes essential to have an accurate automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnosis system. Researchers have adopted different methods, such as deep learning, to investigate arrhythmias classification. However, the importance of ECG waveform features is generally ignored when deep learning approaches are applied to classification tasks. P-wave, QRS-wave, and T-wave, containing plenty of physiological information, are three critical waves in the ECG heartbeat. The accurate localization of these critical ECG wave components is a prerequisite for ECG classification and diagnosis. In this study, a novel P-QRS-T wave localization method based on hybrid neural networks is proposed. The raw ECG signal is preprocessed sequentially by filtering, heartbeat extraction, and data standardization. The hybrid neural network is constructed by combining the residual neural network (ResNet) and the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). It predicts the relative positions of the P-peak, QRS-peak, and T-peak for each heartbeat. The proposed algorithm was validated on four ECG databases with input noise of different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. The results show that the proposed method can accurately predict the positions of the three key waves. The proposed P-QRS-T localization approach can improve the efficiency of ECG delineation. Integrated with cardiac disease classification methods, it can contribute to the development of advanced automatic ECG diagnosis systems.

Abstract
Over the past several years, wearable electrophysiological sensors with stretchability have received significant research attention because of their capability to continuously monitor electrophysiological signals from the human body with minimal body motion artifacts, long-term tracking, and comfort for real-time health monitoring. Among the four different sensors, i.e., piezoresistive, piezoelectric, iontronic, and capacitive, capacitive sensors are the most advantageous owing to their reusability, high durability, device sterilization ability, and minimum leakage currents between the electrode and the body to reduce the health risk arising from any short circuit. This review focuses on the development of wearable, flexible capacitive sensors for monitoring electrophysiological conditions, including the electrode materials and configuration, the sensing mechanisms, and the fabrication strategies. In addition, several design strategies of flexible/stretchable electrodes, body-to-electrode signal transduction, and measurements have been critically evaluated. We have also highlighted the gaps and opportunities needed for enhancing the suitability and practical applicability of wearable capacitive sensors. Finally, the potential applications, research challenges, and future research directions on stretchable and wearable capacitive sensors are outlined in this review.

An Effective and Lightweight Deep Electrocardiography Arrhythmia Recognition Model Using Novel Special and Native Structural Regularization Techniques on Cardiac Signal.

Abstract
Recently, cardiac arrhythmia recognition from electrocardiography (ECG) with deep learning approaches is becoming popular in clinical diagnosis systems due to its good prognosis findings, where expert data preprocessing and feature engineering are not usually required. But a lightweight and effective deep model is highly demanded to face the challenges of deploying the model in real-life applications and diagnosis accurately. In this work, two effective and lightweight deep learning models named Deep-SR and Deep-NSR are proposed to recognize ECG beats, which are based on two-dimensional convolution neural networks (2D CNNs) while using different structural regularizations. First, 97720 ECG beats extracted from all records of a benchmark MIT-BIH arrhythmia dataset have been transformed into 2D RGB (red, green, and blue) images that act as the inputs to the proposed 2D CNN models. Then, the optimization of the proposed models is performed through the proper initialization of model layers, on-the-fly augmentation, regularization techniques, Adam optimizer, and weighted random sampler. Finally, the performance of the proposed models is evaluated by a stratified 5-fold cross-validation strategy along with callback features. The obtained overall accuracy of recognizing normal beat and three arrhythmias (V-ventricular ectopic, S-supraventricular ectopic, and F-fusion) based on the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) is 99.93%, and 99.96% for the proposed Deep-SR model and Deep-NSR model, which demonstrate that the effectiveness of the proposed models has surpassed the state-of-the-art models and also expresses the higher model generalization. The received results with model size suggest that the proposed CNN models especially Deep-NSR could be more useful in wearable devices such as medical vests, bracelets for long-term monitoring of cardiac conditions, and in telemedicine to accurate diagnose the arrhythmia from ECG automatically. As a result, medical costs of patients and work pressure on physicians in medicals and clinics would be reduced effectively.

Abstract
PurposePatients having ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation, that are early markers of stroke and sudden cardiac death, as well as benign subjects are all studied using the electrocardiogram (ECG). In order to identify cardiac anomalies, ECG signals analyse the heart's electrical activity and show output in the form of waveforms. Patients with these disorders must be identified as soon as possible. ECG signals can be difficult, time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability when inspected manually.Design/methodology/approachThere are various forms of arrhythmias that are difficult to distinguish in complicated non-linear ECG data. It may be beneficial to use computer-aided decision support systems (CAD). It is possible to classify arrhythmias in a rapid, accurate, repeatable and objective manner using the CAD, which use machine learning algorithms to identify the tiny changes in cardiac rhythms. Cardiac infractions can be classified and detected using this method. The authors want to categorize the arrhythmia with better accurate findings in even less computational time as the primary objective. Using signal and axis characteristics and their association n-grams as features, this paper makes a significant addition to the field. Using a benchmark dataset as input to multi-label multi-fold cross-validation, an experimental investigation was conducted.FindingsThis dataset was used as input for cross-validation on contemporary models and the resulting cross-validation metrics have been weighed against the performance metrics of other contemporary models. There have been few false alarms with the suggested model's high sensitivity and specificity.Originality/valueThe results of cross validation are significant. In terms of specificity, sensitivity, and decision accuracy, the proposed model outperforms other contemporary models.

Abstract
In the fault classification process, filter methods that sequentially remove unnecessary features have long been studied. However, the existing filter methods do not have guidelines on which, and how many, features are needed. This study developed a multi-filter clustering fusion (MFCF) technique, to effectively and efficiently select features. In the MFCF process, a multi-filter method combining existing filter methods is first applied for feature clustering; then, key features are automatically selected. The union of key features is utilized to find all potentially important features, and an exhaustive search is used to obtain the best combination of selected features to maximize the accuracy of the classification model. In the rotating machinery examples, fault classification models using MFCF were generated to classify normal and abnormal conditions of rotational machinery. The obtained results demonstrated that classification models using MFCF provide good accuracy, efficiency, and robustness in the fault classification of rotational machinery.

Abstract
Every human being has a different electro-cardio-graphy (ECG) waveform that provides information about the well being of a human heart. Therefore, ECG waveform can be used as an effective identification measure in biometrics and many such applications of human identification. To achieve fast and accurate identification of human beings using ECG signals, a novel robust approach has been introduced here. The databases of ECG utilized during the experimentation are MLII, UCI repository arrhythmia and PTBDB databases. All these databases are imbalanced; hence, resampling techniques are helpful in making the databases balanced. Noise removal is performed with discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and features are obtained with multi-cumulants. This approach is mainly based on features extracted from the ECG data in terms of multi-cumulants. The multi-cumulants feature based ECG data is classified using kernel extreme learning machine (KELM). The parameters of multi-cumulants and KELM are optimized using genetic algorithm (GA). Excellent classification rate is achieved with 100% accuracy on MLII and UCI repository arrhythmia databases, and 99.57% on PTBDB database. Comparison with existing state-of-art approaches has also been performed to prove the efficacy of the proposed approach. Here, the process of classification in the proposed approach is named as evolutionary hybrid classifier.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular arrhythmia (Arr) are among the most common and fatal cardiac arrhythmias in the world. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data, collected as part of the UK Biobank, represents an opportunity for analysis and classification of these two diseases in the UK. The main objective of our study is to investigate a two-stage model for the classification of individuals with AF and Arr in the UK Biobank dataset. The current literature addresses heart arrhythmia classification very extensively. However, the data used by most researchers lack enough instances of these common diseases. Moreover, by proposing the two-stage model and separation of normal and abnormal cases, we have improved the performance of the classifiers in detection of each specific disease. Our approach consists of two stages of classification. In the first stage, features of the ECG input are classified into two main classes: normal and abnormal. At the second stage, the features of the ECG are further categorised as abnormal and further classified into two diseases of AF and Arr. A diverse set of ECG features such as the QRS duration, PR interval and RR interval, as well as covariates such as sex, BMI, age and other factors, are used in the modelling process. For both stages, we use the XGBoost Classifier algorithm. The healthy population present in the data, has been undersampled to tackle the class imbalance present in the data. This technique has been applied and evaluated using an ECG dataset from the UKBioBank ECG taken at rest repository. The main results of our paper are as follows: The classification performance for the proposed approach has been measured using F1 score, Sensitivity (Recall) and Specificity (Precision). The results of the proposed system are 87.22%, 88.55% and 85.95%, for average F1 Score, average sensitivity and average specificity, respectively. Contribution and significance: The performance level indicates that automatic detection of AF and Arr in participants present in the UK Biobank is more precise and efficient if done in a two-stage manner. Automatic detection and classification of AF and Arr individuals this way would mean early diagnosis and prevention of more serious consequences later in their lives.

Abstract
The usage of wearable gadgets is growing in the cloud-based health monitoring systems. The signal compression, computational and power efficiencies play an imperative part in this scenario. In this context, we propose an efficient method for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The method combines multirate processing, wavelet decomposition and frequency content-based subband coefficient selection and machine learning techniques. Multirate processing and features selection is used to reduce the amount of information processed thus reducing the computational complexity of the proposed system relative to the equivalent fixed-rate solutions. Frequency content-dependent subband coefficient selection enhances the compression gain and reduces the transmission activity and computational cost of the post cloud-based classification. We have used MIT-BIH dataset for our experiments. To avoid overfitting and biasness, the performance of considered classifiers is studied by using five-fold cross validation (5CV) and a novel proposed partial blind protocol. The designed method achieves more than 12-fold computational gain while assuring an appropriate signal reconstruction. The compression gain is 13 times compared to fixed-rate counterparts and the highest classification accuracies are 97.06% and 92.08% for the 5CV and partial blind cases, respectively. Results suggest the feasibility of detecting cardiac arrhythmias using the proposed approach.
