Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are very important for heart disease diagnosis. In this paper, a novel early prediction method based on Nested Long Short-Term Memory (Nested LSTM) is developed for sudden cardiac death risk detection. First, wavelet denoising and normalization techniques are utilized for reliable reconstruction of ECG signals from extreme noise conditions. Then, a nested LSTM structure is adopted, which can guide the memory forgetting and memory selection of ECG signals, so as to improve the data processing ability and prediction accuracy of ECG signals. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, four different models with different signal prediction techniques are used for comparison. The extensive experimental results show that this method can realize an accurate prediction of the cardiac beat's starting point and track the trend of ECG signals effectively. This study holds significant value for timely intervention for patients at risk of sudden cardiac death.

[PMID: 38555390 PMCID: PMC10981708 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58274-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Traditionally, heart murmurs are diagnosed through cardiac auscultation, which requires specialized training and experience. The purpose of this study is to predict patients' clinical outcomes (normal or abnormal) and identify the presence or absence of heart murmurs using phonocardiograms (PCGs) obtained at different auscultation points. A semi-supervised model tailored to PCG classification is introduced in this study, with the goal of improving performance using time-frequency deep features. The study begins by investigating the behavior of PCGs in the time-frequency domain, utilizing the Stockwell transform to convert the PCG signal into two-dimensional time-frequency maps (TFMs). A deep network named AlexNet is then used to derive deep feature sets from these TFMs. In feature reduction, redundancy is eliminated and the number of deep features is reduced to streamline the feature set. The effectiveness of the extracted features is evaluated using three different classifiers using the CinC/Physionet challenge 2022 dataset. For Task I, which focuses on heart murmur detection, the proposed approach achieved an average accuracy of 93%, sensitivity of 91%, and F1-score of 91%. According to Task II of the CinC/Physionet challenge 2022, the approach showed a clinical outcome cost of 5290, exceeding the benchmark set by leading methods in the challenge.

[PMID: 37237677 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10050607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Most of the existing multi-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) detection methods are based on all 12 leads, which undoubtedly results in a large amount of calculation and is not suitable for the application in portable ECG detection systems. Moreover, the influence of different lead and heartbeat segment lengths on the detection is not clear. In this paper, a novel Genetic Algorithm-based ECG Leads and Segment Length Optimization (GA-LSLO) framework is proposed, aiming to automatically select the appropriate leads and input ECG length to achieve optimized cardiovascular disease detection. GA-LSLO extracts the features of each lead under different heartbeat segment lengths through the convolutional neural network and uses the genetic algorithm to automatically select the optimal combination of ECG leads and segment length. In addition, the lead attention module (LAM) is proposed to weight the features of the selected leads, which improves the accuracy of cardiac disease detection. The algorithm is validated on the ECG data from the Huangpu Branch of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital (defined as the SH database) and the open-source Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt diagnostic ECG database (PTB database). The accuracy for detection of arrhythmia and myocardial infarction under the inter-patient paradigm is 99.65% (95% confidence interval: 99.20-99.76%) and 97.62% (95% confidence interval: 96.80-98.16%), respectively. In addition, ECG detection devices are designed using Raspberry Pi, which verifies the convenience of hardware implementation of the algorithm. In conclusion, the proposed method achieves good cardiovascular disease detection performance. It selects the ECG leads and heartbeat segment length with the lowest algorithm complexity while ensuring classification accuracy, which is suitable for portable ECG detection devices.

Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most effective instrument for making decisions about various forms of heart disease. As a result, several researchers have focused on the ECG signal to extract the features of heartbeats with high precision and efficiency. This article offers a hybrid approach to classifying different cardiac conditions using the Feed Forward Back Propagation Neural Network (FFBPNN), by providing a pre-processed ECG signal as an excitation. The modified ECG signal is obtained through the combination of EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) and DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform). In this proposed method, the input signal is first decomposed into the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF's) and the first three IMF's are combined to obtain a modified partially denoted ECG sample and then DWT is used to obtain an improved denoised signal. This pre-processed signal is classified using the Neural Network architecture. For the EMD approach, the ECG-based EMD-DWT signal provides improved classification accuracy of 67, 0762 percent, 90, 4305 percent for the DWT approach, and 95,0797 percent for the proposed technique. The methodology is applied to the MIT-BIH database and, in terms of classification accuracy, is found to be higher than the different methodologies.

Abstract
Abnormal heart rhythms are one of the significant health concerns worldwide. The current state-of-the-art to recognize and classify abnormal heartbeats is manually performed by visual inspection by an expert practitioner. This is not just a tedious task; it is also error prone and, because it is performed, post-recordings may add unnecessary delay to the care. The real key to the fight to cardiac diseases is real-time detection that triggers prompt action. The biggest hurdle to real-time detection is represented by the rare occurrences of abnormal heartbeats and even more are some rare typologies that are not fully represented in signal datasets; the latter is what makes it difficult for doctors and algorithms to recognize them. This work presents an automated heartbeat classification based on nonlinear morphological features and a voting scheme suitable for rare heartbeat morphologies. Although the algorithm is designed and tested on a computer, it is intended ultimately to run on a portable i.e., field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices. Our algorithm tested on Massachusetts Institute of Technology- Beth Israel Hospital(MIT-BIH) database as per Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation(AAMI) recommendations. The simulation results show the superiority of the proposed method, especially in predicting minority groups: the fusion and unknown classes with 90.4% and 100%.

Abstract
Oculopathy is a widespread disease among people of all ages around the world. Teleophthalmology can facilitate the ophthalmological diagnosis for less developed countries that lack medical resources. In teleophthalmology, the assessment of retinal image quality is of great importance. In this paper, we propose a no-reference retinal image assessment system based on DenseNet, a convolutional neural network architecture. This system classified fundus images into good and bad quality or five categories: adequate, just noticeable blur, inappropriate illumination, incomplete optic disc, and opacity. The proposed system was evaluated on different datasets and compared to the applications based on other two networks: VGG-16 and GoogLenet. For binary classification, the good-and-bad binary classifier achieves an AUC of 1.000, and the degradation-specified classifiers that distinguish one specified degradation versus the rest achieve AUC values of 0.972, 0.990, 0.982, 0.982 for four categories, respectively. The multi-classification based on DenseNet achieves an overall accuracy of 0.927, which is significantly higher than 0.549 and 0.757 obtained using VGG-16 and GoogLeNet, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach produces outstanding performance in retinal image quality assessment and is worth applying in ophthalmological telemedicine applications. In addition, the proposed approach is robust to the image noise. This study fills the gap of multi-classification in retinal image quality assessment.

Abstract
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most leading Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), which results due to buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries. The CAD and Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) heartbeats can be discriminated and diagnosed noninvasively using the standard tool Electrocardiogram (ECG). However, manual diagnosis of ECG is tiresome and time consuming task, due to complex nature and unseen nonlinearities of ECG. Hence an automated system plays a substantial role. In this study, CAD and NSR heartbeats are discriminated and diagnosed using Higher-Order Statistics (HOS) cumulants features. Further, the cumulants coefficients dimensionality reduced using Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and the medically significant features (p-value<;0.05) Principal Components (PCs) are subjected for classification using Random Forest (RAF) and Rotation Forest (ROF) ensemble classifiers. Proposed system is robust which helps in screening CAD risk factors and telemonitoring applications.
