Automated cardiac arrhythmia detection techniques: a comprehensive review for prospective approach

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.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) are the physiological signals and a standard test to measure the heart's electrical activity that depicts the movement of cardiac muscles. A review study has been conducted on ECG signals analysis with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) methods over the last ten years i.e., 2012-22. Primarily, the method of ECG analysis by software systems was divided into classical signal processing (e.g. spectrograms or filters), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), including recursive models, transformers and hybrid. Secondly, the data sources and benchmark datasets were depicted. Authors grouped resources by ECG acquisition methods into hospital-based portable machines and wearable devices. Authors also included new trends like advanced pre-processing, data augmentation, simulations and agent-based modeling. The study found improvement in ECG examination perfection made each year through ML, DL, hybrid models, and transformers. Convolutional neural networks and hybrid models were more targeted and proved efficient. The transformer model extended the accuracy from 90% to 98%. The Physio-Net library helps acquire ECG signals, including the popular benchmark databases such as MIT-BIH, PTB, and challenging datasets. Similarly, wearable devices have been established as a appropriate option for monitoring patient health without the time and place limitations and are also helpful for AI model calibration with so far accuracy of 82%-83% on Samsung smartwatch. In the pre-processing signals, spectrogram generation through Fourier and wavelet transformations are erected leading approaches promoting on average accuracy of 90%-95%. Likewise, data enhancement using geometrical techniques is well-considered; however, extraction and concatenation-based methods need attention. As the what-if analysis in healthcare or cardiac issues can be performed using a complex simulation, the study reviews agent-based modeling and simulation approaches for cardiovascular risk event assessment.

A CNN based m5c RNA methylation predictor

Post-transcriptional modifications of RNA play a key role in performing a variety of biological processes, such as stability and immune tolerance, RNA splicing, protein translation and RNA degradation. One of these RNA modifications is m5c which participates in various cellular functions like RNA structural stability and translation efficiency, got popularity among biologists. By applying biological experiments to detect RNA m5c methylation sites would require much more efforts, time and money. Most of the researchers are using pre-processed RNA sequences of 41 nucleotides where the methylated cytosine is in the center. Therefore, it is possible that some of the information around these motif may have lost. The conventional methods are unable to process the RNA sequence directly due to high dimensionality and thus need optimized techniques for better features extraction. To handle the above challenges the goal of this study is to employ an end-to-end, 1D CNN based model to classify and interpret m5c methylated data sites. Moreover, our aim is to analyze the sequence in its full length where the methylated cytosine may not be in the center. The evaluation of the proposed architecture showed a promising results by outperforming state-of-the-art techniques in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. Our model achieve 96.70% sensitivity and 96.21% accuracy for 41 nucleotides sequences while 96.10% accuracy for full length sequences.

An end-end arrhythmia diagnosis model based on deep learning neural network with multi-scale feature extraction

This study presents an innovative end-to-end deep learning arrhythmia diagnosis model that aims to address the problems in arrhythmia diagnosis. The model performs pre-processing of the heartbeat signal by automatically and efficiently extracting time-domain, time-frequency-domain and multi-scale features at different scales. These features are imported into an adaptive online convolutional network-based classification inference module for arrhythmia diagnosis. Experimental results show that the AOCT-based deep learning neural network diagnostic module has excellent parallel computing and classification inference capabilities, and the overall performance of the model improves with increasing scales. In particular, when multi-scale features are used as inputs, the model is able to learn both time-frequency domain information and other rich information, thus significantly improving the performance of the end-to-end diagnostic model. The final results show that the AOCT-based deep learning neural network model has an average accuracy of 99.72%, a recall of 99.62%, and an F1 score of 99.3% in diagnosing four common heart diseases.

Ensemble classifier fostered detection of arrhythmia using ECG data

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive medical tool that divulges the rhythm and function of the human heart. This is broadly employed in heart disease detection including arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a general term for abnormal heart rhythms that can be identified and classified into many categories. Automatic ECG analysis is provided by arrhythmia categorization in cardiac patient monitoring systems. It aids cardiologists to diagnose the ECG signal. In this work, an Ensemble classifier is proposed for accurate arrhythmia detection using ECG Signal. Input data are taken from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia dataset. Then the input data was pre-processed using Python in Jupyter Notebook which run the code in an isolated manner and was able to keep code, formula, comments, and images. Then, Residual Exemplars Local Binary Pattern is applied for extracting statistical features. The extracted features are given to ensemble classifiers, like Support vector machines (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), and random forest (RF) for classifying the arrhythmia as normal (N), supraventricular ectopic beat (S), ventricular ectopic beat (V), fusion beat (F), and unknown beat (Q). The proposed AD-Ensemble SVM-NB-RF method is implemented in Python. The proposed AD-Ensemble SVM-NB-RF method is 44.57%, 52.41%, and 29.49% higher accuracy; 2.01%, 3.33%, and 3.19% higher area under the curve (AUC); and 21.52%, 23.05%, and 12.68% better F-Measure compared with existing models, like multi-model depending on the ensemble of deep learning for ECG heartbeats arrhythmia categorization (AD-Ensemble CNN-LSTM-RRHOS), ECG signal categorization utilizing VGGNet: a neural network based classification method (AD-Ensemble CNN-LSTM) and higher performance arrhythmic heartbeat categorization utilizing ensemble learning along PSD based feature extraction method (AD-Ensemble MLP-NB-RF).

Deep Learning-Based IoT System for Remote Monitoring and Early Detection of Health Issues in Real-Time

With an aging population and increased chronic diseases, remote health monitoring has become critical to improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs. The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently drawn much interest as a potential remote health monitoring remedy. IoT-based systems can gather and analyze a wide range of physiological data, including blood oxygen levels, heart rates, body temperatures, and ECG signals, and then provide real-time feedback to medical professionals so they may take appropriate action. This paper proposes an IoT-based system for remote monitoring and early detection of health problems in home clinical settings. The system comprises three sensor types: MAX30100 for measuring blood oxygen level and heart rate; AD8232 ECG sensor module for ECG signal data; and MLX90614 non-contact infrared sensor for body temperature. The collected data is transmitted to a server using the MQTT protocol. A pre-trained deep learning model based on a convolutional neural network with an attention layer is used on the server to classify potential diseases. The system can detect five different categories of heartbeats: Normal Beat, Supraventricular premature beat, Premature ventricular contraction, Fusion of ventricular, and Unclassifiable beat from ECG sensor data and fever or non-fever from body temperature. Furthermore, the system provides a report on the patient's heart rate and oxygen level, indicating whether they are within normal ranges or not. The system automatically connects the user to the nearest doctor for further diagnosis if any critical abnormalities are detected.

Accurate Detection of Alzheimer's Disease Using Lightweight Deep Learning Model on MRI Data

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairment and aberrant protein deposition in the brain. Therefore, the early detection of AD is crucial for the development of effective treatments and interventions, as the disease is more responsive to treatment in its early stages. It is worth mentioning that deep learning techniques have been successfully applied in recent years to a wide range of medical imaging tasks, including the detection of AD. These techniques have the ability to automatically learn and extract features from large datasets, making them well suited for the analysis of complex medical images. In this paper, we propose an improved lightweight deep learning model for the accurate detection of AD from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Our proposed model achieves high detection performance without the need for deeper layers and eliminates the use of traditional methods such as feature extraction and classification by combining them all into one stage. Furthermore, our proposed method consists of only seven layers, making the system less complex than other previous deep models and less time-consuming to process. We evaluate our proposed model using a publicly available Kaggle dataset, which contains a large number of records in a small dataset size of only 36 Megabytes. Our model achieved an overall accuracy of 99.22% for binary classification and 95.93% for multi-classification tasks, which outperformed other previous models. Our study is the first to combine all methods used in the publicly available Kaggle dataset for AD detection, enabling researchers to work on a dataset with new challenges. Our findings show the effectiveness of our lightweight deep learning framework to achieve high accuracy in the classification of AD.

Efficient Lightweight Multimodel Deep Fusion Based on ECG for Arrhythmia Classification

An arrhythmia happens when the electrical signals that organize the heartbeat do not work accurately. Most cases of arrhythmias may increase the risk of stroke or cardiac arrest. As a result, early detection of arrhythmia reduces fatality rates. This research aims to provide a lightweight multimodel based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that can transfer knowledge from many lightweight deep learning models and decant it into one model to aid in the diagnosis of arrhythmia by using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. Thus, we gained a multimodel able to classify arrhythmia from ECG signals. Our system's effectiveness is examined by using a publicly accessible database and a comparison to the current methodologies for arrhythmia classification. The results we achieved by using our multimodel are better than those obtained by using a single model and better than most of the previous detection methods. It is worth mentioning that this model produced accurate classification results on small collection of data. Experts in this field can use this model as a guide to help them make decisions and save time.
