A stacked LSTM for atrial fibrillation prediction based on multivariate ECGs
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is an irregular and rapid heart rate that can increase the risk of various heart-related complications, such as the stroke and the heart failure. Electrocardiography (ECG) is widely used to monitor the health of heart disease patients. It can dramatically improve the health and the survival rate of heart disease patients by accurately predicting the AFs in an ECG. Most of the existing researches focus on the AF detection, but few of them explore the AF prediction. In this paper, we develop a recurrent neural network (RNN) composed of stacked LSTMs for AF prediction, which called SLAP. This ...

Detection of Atrial Fibrillation from Single Lead ECG Signal Using Multirate Cosine Filter Bank and Deep Neural Network
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac arrhythmia which is characterized based on the irregsular beating of atria, resulting in, the abnormal atrial patterns that are observed in the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The early detection of this pathology is very helpful for minimizing the chances of stroke, other heart-related disorders, and coronary artery diseases. This paper proposes a novel method for the detection of AF pathology based on the analysis of the ECG signal. The method adopts a multi-rate cosine filter bank architecture for the evaluation of coefficients from the ECG signal at different subbands, in t...
