According to World Health Organization (WHO) report an estimated 17.9 million lives are being lost each year due to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and is the top contributor to the death causes. 80% of the cardiovascular cases include heart attacks and strokes. This work is an effort to accurately predict the common heart diseases such as arrhythmia (ARR) and congestive heart failure (CHF) along with the normal sinus rhythm (NSR) based on the integrated model developed using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and deep neural networks. The proposed method used in this research analyses the time-frequency features of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal by first converting the 1D ECG signals to the 2D Scalogram images and subsequently the 2D images are being used as an input to the 2D deep neural network model-AlexNet. The reason behind converting the ECG signals to 2D images is that it is easier to extract deep features from images rather than from the raw data for training purposes in AlexNet. The dataset used for this research was obtained from Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Boston's Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) arrhythmia database, MIT-BIH normal sinus rhythm database and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) congestive heart failure database. In this work, we have identified the best fit parameters for the AlexNet model that could successfully predict the common heart diseases with an accuracy of 98.7%. This work is also being compared with the recent research done in the field of ECG Classification for detection of heart conditions and proves to be an effective technique for the classification.

Electrocardiogram Signals

Recently, the obvious increasing number of cardiovascular disease, the automatic classification research of Electrocardiogram signals (ECG) has been playing a important part in the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Convolution neural network (CNN) based method is proposed to classify ECG signals. The proposed CNN model consists of five layers in addition to the input layer and the output layer, i.e., two convolution layers, two down sampling layers and one full connection layer, extracting the effective features from the original data and classifying the features using wavelet .The classification of ARR (Arrhythmia), CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), and NSR (Normal Sinus Rhythm) signals. The experimental results contains on ARR signals from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia,CHF signals from the BIDMC Congestive Heart Failure and NSR signals from the MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Databases show that the proposed method achieves a promising classification accuracy of 90.63%, significantly outperforming several typical ECG classification methods.

This paper highlights the application of methods and techniques from nonlinear analysis to illustrate their far superior capability in revealing complex cardiac dynamics under various physiological and pathological states. The purpose is to augment conventional (time and frequency based) heart rate variability analysis, and to extract significant prognostic and clinically relevant information for risk stratification and improved diagnosis. In this work, several nonlinear indices are estimated for RR intervals based time series data acquired for Healthy Sinus Rhythm (HSR) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), as the two groups represent different cases of Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR). In addition to this, nonlinear algorithms are also applied to investigate the internal dynamics of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). Application of nonlinear tools in normal and diseased cardiovascular states manifest their strong ability to support clinical decision support systems and highlights the internal complex properties of physiological time series data such as complexity, irregularity, determinism and recurrence trends in cardiovascular regulation mechanisms.

Introduction. Non-linear methods of analysis have found widespread use in the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) technology, when the long-term HRV records are available. Using one of the effective nonlinear methods of analysis of HRV correlation dimension D2 for the standard 5-min HRV records is suppressed by unsatisfactory accuracy of available methods in case of short records (usually, doctors have about 500 RRs during standard 5-min HRV record), as well as complexity and ambiguity of choosing additional parameters for known methods of calculating D2. The purpose of the work. Building a robust estimator for calculating correlation dimension D2 with high accuracy for limited se-ries of RR-intervals observed in a standard 5-minute HRV record, i. e. with N  500. As well as demonstrating the capabilities of the D2 formula on a well known attractors (Lorenz, Duffing, Hennon and etc.) and in applications for Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR), Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Materials and Methods. We used MIT-BIH long-term HRV records for normal sinus rhythm, congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. In order to analyze the accuracy of new robust estimator for D2, we used the known theoretical values for some famous attractors (Lorenz, Duffing, Hennon and etc.) and the most popular Grassberger-Procaccia (G-P) algorithm for D2. The results of the study. We have shown the effectiveness of the developed D2 formula for time series of limited length (N = 500–1000) by some famous attractors (Lorenz, Duffing, Hennon and etc.) and with the most popular Grassberger-Procaccia (G-P) algorithm for D2. It was demonstrated statistically significant difference of D2 for normal sinus rhythm and congestive heart failure by standard 5 min HRV segments from MIT-BIH database. The promised technology for early prediction of atrial fibrillation episodes by current D2 algorithm was shown for standard 5 min HRV segments from MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation database. Conclusion. Robust correlation dimension D2 estimator suggested in the article allows for time series of limited length (N ≈ 500) to calculate D2 value that differs at mean from a precise one by 5 ± 4%, as demonstrated for various well known attractors (Lorenz, Duffing, Hennon and etc.). We have shown on the standard 5-min segments from MIT-BIH database of HRV records: - the statistically significant difference of D2 for cases of normal sinus rhythm and congestive heart failure; - D2 drop significantly for the about 30 min. before of AF and D2 growth drastically under AF there was shown for HRV records with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) episodes. The suggested robust correlation dimension D2 estimator is perfect suitable for real time HRV monitoring as accurate, fast and non-consuming for computing resources. Key words: Hearth rate variability; Correlation dimension; Congestive heart failure; Atrial fibrillation.

Abstract Delayed diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF) can lead to death. Early diagnosis of these cardiac conditions is possible by manually analyzing electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. However, manual diagnosis is complex, owing to the various characteristics of ECG signals. Several studies have reported promising results using the automatic classification of ECG signals. The performance accuracy needs to be improved considering that an accurate classification system of AF and CHF has the potential to save a patient’s life. An optimal ECG signal classification system for AF and CHF has been proposed in this study using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1-D CNN) to improve the performance. A total of 150 datasets of ECG signals were modeled using the1-D CNN. The proposed 1-D CNN algorithm, provided precision values, recall, f1-score, accuracy of 100%, and successfully classified raw data of ECG signals into three conditions, which are normal sinus rhythm (NSR), AF, and CHF. The results showed that the proposed method outperformed the previous methods. This approach can be considered as an adjunct for medical personnel to diagnose AF, CHF, and NSR.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) refers to the inadequate blood filling function of the ventricular pump and it may cause an insufficient heart discharge volume that fails to meet the needs of body metabolism. Heart rate variability (HRV) based on the RR interval is a proven effective predictor of CHF. Short-term HRV has been used widely in many healthcare applications to monitor patients’ health, especially in combination with mobile phones and smart watches. Inspired by the inception module from GoogLeNet, we combined long short-term memory (LSTM) and an Inception module for CHF detection. Five open-source databases were used for training and testing, and three RR segment length types (N = 500, 1000 and 2000) were used for the comparison with other studies. With blindfold validation, the proposed method achieved 99.22%, 98.85% and 98.92% accuracy using the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) CHF, normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and the Fantasia database (FD) databases and 82.51%, 86.68% and 87.55% accuracy using the NSR-RR and CHF-RR databases, with N = 500, 1000 and 2000 length RR interval segments, respectively. Our end-to-end system can help clinicians to detect CHF using short-term assessment of the heartbeat. It can be installed in healthcare applications to monitor the status of human heart.

A multi-layer convolutional neural network (MCNN) with hyperparameter optimization (HyperMCNN) is proposed for classifying human electrocardiograms (ECGs). For performance tests of the HyperMCNN, ECG recordings for patients with cardiac arrhythmia (ARR), congestive heart failure (CHF), and normal sinus rhythm (NSR) were obtained from three PhysioNet databases: MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, BIDMC Congestive Heart Failure Database, and MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database, respectively. The MCNN hyperparameters in convolutional layers included number of filters, filter size, padding, and filter stride. The hyperparameters in max-pooling layers were pooling size and pooling stride. Gradient method was also a hyperparameter used to train the MCNN model. Uniform experimental design approach was used to optimize the hyperparameter combination for the MCNN. In performance tests, the resulting 16-layer CNN with an appropriate hyperparameter combination (16-layer HyperMCNN) was used to distinguish among ARR, CHF, and NSR. The experimental results showed that the average correct rate and standard deviation obtained by the 16-layer HyperMCNN were superior to those obtained by a 16-layer CNN with a hyperparameter combination given by Matlab examples. Furthermore, in terms of performance in distinguishing among ARR, CHF, and NSR, the 16-layer HyperMCNN was superior to the 25-layer AlexNet, which was the neural network that had the best image identification performance in the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge in 2012.

We report an infant with ectopic atrial tachycardia, due to an aneurysm of the right atrial appendage, who developed congestive heart failure. Although catheter ablation was transiently successful, tachycardia recurred 2 days later. The aneurysm of the right atrial appendage was resected successfully by surgery, and thereafter she did well, reverting to normal sinus rhythm.
