Automated Deep Learning Based Cardiovascular Disease Diagnosis Using ECG Signals

Automated biomedical signal processing becomes an essential process to determine the indicators of diseased states.At the same time,latest develop-ments of artificial intelligence(AI)techniques have the ability to manage and ana-lyzing massive amounts of biomedical datasets results in clinical decisions and real time applications.They can be employed for medical imaging;however,the 1D biomedical signal recognition process is still needing to be improved.Electrocardiogram(ECG)is one of the widely used 1-dimensional biomedical sig-nals,which is used to diagnose cardiovascular diseases.Computer assisted diag-nostic modelsfind it difficult to automatically classify the 1D ECG signals owing to time-varying dynamics and diverse profiles of ECG signals.To resolve these issues,this study designs automated deep learning based 1D biomedical ECG sig-nal recognition for cardiovascular disease diagnosis(DLECG-CVD)model.The DLECG-CVD model involves different stages of operations such as pre-proces-sing,feature extraction,hyperparameter tuning,and classification.At the initial stage,data pre-processing takes place to convert the ECG report to valuable data and transform it into a compatible format for further processing.In addition,deep belief network(DBN)model is applied to derive a set of feature vectors.Besides,improved swallow swarm optimization(ISSO)algorithm is used for the hyper-parameter tuning of the DBN model.Lastly,extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)classifier is employed to allocate proper class labels to the test ECG signals.In order to verify the improved diagnostic performance of the DLECG-CVD model,a set of simulations is carried out on the benchmark PTB-XL dataset.A detailed comparative study highlighted the betterment of the DLECG-CVD model interms of accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,kappa,Mathew correlation coefficient,and Hamming loss.
