Many algorithms have been developed for automated electrocardiogram (ECG) classification. Due to the non-stationary nature of the ECG signal, it is rather challenging to use traditional handcraft methods, such as time-based analysis of feature extraction and classification, to pave the way for machine learning implementation. This paper proposed a novel method, i.e., the ensemble of depthwise separable convolutional (DSC) neural networks for the classification of cardiac arrhythmia ECG beats. Using our proposed method, the four stages of ECG classification, i.e., QRS detection, preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification, were reduced to two steps only, i.e., QRS detection and classification. No preprocessing method was required while feature extraction was combined with classification. Moreover, to reduce the computational cost while maintaining its accuracy, several techniques were implemented, including All Convolutional Network (ACN), Batch Normalization (BN), and ensemble convolutional neural networks. The performance of the proposed ensemble CNNs were evaluated using the MIT-BIH arrythmia database. In the training phase, around 22% of the 110,057 beats data extracted from 48 records were utilized. Using only these 22% labeled training data, our proposed algorithm was able to classify the remaining 78% of the database into 16 classes. Furthermore, the sensitivity ( S n ), specificity ( S p ), and positive predictivity ( P p ), and accuracy ( A c c ) are 99.03%, 99.94%, 99.03%, and 99.88%, respectively. The proposed algorithm required around 180 μs, which is suitable for real time application. These results showed that our proposed method outperformed other state of the art methods.

The QRS detection is a crucial step in ECG signal analysis; it has a great impact on the beats segmentation and in the final classification of the ECG signal. The Pan-Tompkins is one of the first and best-performing algorithms for QRS detection. It performs filtering for noise suppression, differentiation for slope dominance, and thresholding for decision making. All of the parameters of the Pan-Tompkins algorithm are selected empirically. However, we think that the Pan-Tompkins method can achieve better performance if the parameters were optimized. Therefore, we propose an adaptive algorithm that looks for the best set of parameters that improves the Pan-Tompkins algorithm performance. For this purpose, we formulate the parameter design as an optimization problem within a particle swarm optimization framework. Experiments conducted on the 24 hours recording of the MIT/BIH arrhythmia benchmark dataset achieved an overall accuracy of 99.83% which outperforms the state-of-the-art time-domain algorithms

<span lang="EN-US">The ECG signal processing methods are tested and evaluated based on many databases. The most ECG database used for many researchers is the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The QRS-detection algorithms are essential for ECG analyses to detect the beats for the ECG signal. There is no standard number of beats for this database that are used from numerous researches. Different beat numbers are calculated for the researchers depending on the difference in understanding the annotation file. In this paper, the beat numbers for existing methods are studied and compared to find the correct beat number that should be used. We propose a simple function to standardize the beats number for any ECG PhysioNet database to improve the waveform database toolbox (WFDB) for the MATLAB program. This function is based on the annotation's description from the databases and can be added to the Toolbox. The function is removed the non-beats annotation without any errors. The results show a high percentage of 71% from the reviewed methods used an incorrect number of beats for this database.</span>

An accurate measurement of the different electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals is dependent on the accurate identification of the beginning and the end of the P, QRS, and T waves. Available commercial systems provide a good QRS detection accuracy. However, the detection of the P and T waves remains a serious challenge due to their widely differing morphologies in normal and abnormal beats. In this paper, a new algorithm for the detection of the QRS complex as well as for P and T waves identification is provided. The proposed algorithm is based on different approaches and methods such as derivations, thresholding, and surface indicator. The proposed algorithm is tested and evaluated on ECG signals from the universal MIT-BIH database. It shows a good ability to detect P, QRS, and T waves for different cases of ECG signal even in very noisy conditions. The obtained QRS, sensitivity and positive predictivity are respectively 95.39% and 98.19%. The developed algorithm is also able to separate the overlapping P and T waves.

AbstractElectrocardiogram (ECG) is an effective and non-invasive indicator for the detection and prevention of arrhythmia. ECG signals are susceptible to noise contamination, which can lead to errors in ECG interpretation. Therefore, ECG pretreatment is important for accurate analysis. In this paper, a method of noise reduction based on deep learning is proposed. The method is divided into two stages, and two corresponding models are formed. In the first stage, a one-dimensional U-net model is designed for ECG signal denoising to eliminate noise as much as possible. The one-dimensional DR-net model in the second stage is used to reconstruct the ECG signal and to correct the waveform distortion caused by noise removal in the first stage. In this paper, the U-net and the DR-net are constructed by the convolution method to achieve end-to-end mapping from noisy ECG signals to clean ECG signals. The ECG data used in this paper are from CPSC2018, and the noise signal is from MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database (NSTDB). In the experiment, the improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio SNRimp, the root mean square error decrease RMSEde, and the correlation coefficient P, are used to evaluate the performance of the network. This two-stage method is compared with FCN and U-net alone. The experimental results show that the two-stage noise reduction method can eliminate complex noise in the ECG signal while retaining the characteristic shape of the ECG signal. According to the results, we believe that the proposed method has a good application prospect in clinical practice.
