Disturbances in Heart Rhythm01:28

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm

933
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias are categorized by their speed, rhythm, and origin. A slow...

Pulse rhythm

783
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Mechanism of Cardiac Arrhythmias01:28

Mechanism of Cardiac Arrhythmias

910
Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms occurring when the heart's electrical impulses become abnormal. These disturbances can lead to various symptoms, depending on their severity and the underlying cause. Some common factors contributing to arrhythmias include hypoxia, ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, excessive catecholamine exposure, drug toxicity, and muscle overstretching. Arrhythmias can be classified into two main types based on the rate and site of origin of abnormal heart rhythms.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Early diagnosis of electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities is crucial for preventing and detecting arrhythmia diseases.
  • Existing arrhythmia classification methods struggle with inter-patient assessment due to similar Normal (N) and Supraventricular Premature Beat (S) categories and imbalanced ECG data.
  • These challenges lead to unsatisfactory classification results, necessitating improved diagnostic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel multi-path parallel deep convolutional neural network for enhanced arrhythmia classification.
  • To address the classification challenges posed by similar N and S beat categories and imbalanced ECG data.
  • To improve the accuracy and reliability of automated arrhythmia detection systems.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-path parallel deep convolutional neural network architecture was developed for ECG signal classification.
  • A global average RR interval feature was incorporated to differentiate between similar N and S beat categories.
  • A weighted loss function, dynamically adjusted based on class proportions, was implemented to handle data imbalance.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method demonstrated superior classification performance compared to existing approaches under both intra-patient and inter-patient evaluation paradigms.
  • Under the intra-patient paradigm, the model achieved 98.73% accuracy, 94.89% average sensitivity, 89.38% average precision, and 98.24% average specificity.
  • Under the inter-patient paradigm, the model achieved 91.22% accuracy, 89.91% average sensitivity, 68.23% average precision, and 95.23% average specificity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multi-path parallel deep convolutional neural network effectively classifies arrhythmia from ECG signals.
  • The integration of global average RR interval and a weighted loss function successfully addresses challenges of beat similarity and data imbalance.
  • The proposed method offers a significant advancement in automated arrhythmia detection, improving diagnostic accuracy in clinical settings.
