Abstract From a medical perspective, the 12 leads of the heart in an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal have functional dependencies with each other. Therefore, all these leads report different aspects of an arrhythmia. Their differences lie in the level of highlighting and displaying information about that arrhythmia. For example, although all leads show traces of atrial excitation, this function is more evident in lead II than in any other lead. In this article, a new model was proposed using ECG functional and structural dependencies between heart leads. In the prescreening stage, the ECG signals are segmented from… More >

Abstract Emotion recognition is a growing field that has numerous applications in smart healthcare systems and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, physical methods of emotion recognition such as facial expressions, voice, and text data, do not always indicate true emotions, as users can falsify them. Among the physiological methods of emotion detection, Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a reliable and efficient way of detecting emotions. ECG-enabled smart bands have proven effective in collecting emotional data in uncontrolled environments. Researchers use deep machine learning techniques for emotion recognition using ECG signals, but there is a need to develop efficient models… More >

Abstract With the help of computer-aided diagnostic systems, cardiovascular diseases can be identified timely manner to minimize the mortality rate of patients suffering from cardiac disease. However, the early diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia is one of the most challenging tasks. The manual analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data with the help of the Holter monitor is challenging. Currently, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is receiving considerable attention from researchers for automatically identifying ECG signals. This paper proposes a 9-layer-based CNN model to classify the ECG signals into five primary categories according to the American National Standards Institute More >

Abstract Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) technologies are revolutionizing the medical domain, especially with Electrocardiogram (ECG), by providing new tools and techniques for diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. However, DL architectures are computationally more demanding. In recent years, researchers have focused on combining the computationally less intensive portion of the DL architectures with ML approaches, say for example, combining the convolutional layer blocks of Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) into ML algorithms such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) resulting in CNN-XGBoost and CNN-KNN, respectively. However, these approaches are homogenous in the… More >

Abstract Cardiovascular problems have become the predominant cause of death worldwide and a rise in the number of patients has been observed lately. Currently, electrocardiogram (ECG) data is analyzed by medical experts to determine the cardiac abnormality, which is time-consuming. In addition, the diagnosis requires experienced medical experts and is error-prone. However, automated identification of cardiovascular disease using ECGs is a challenging problem and state-of-the-art performance has been attained by complex deep learning architectures. This study proposes a simple multilayer perceptron (MLP) model for heart disease prediction to reduce computational complexity. ECG dataset containing averaged signals More >

Abstract With new developments experienced in Internet of Things (IoT), wearable, and sensing technology, the value of healthcare services has enhanced. This evolution has brought significant changes from conventional medicine-based healthcare to real-time observation-based healthcare. Bio-medical Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are generally utilized in examination and diagnosis of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) since it is quick and non-invasive in nature. Due to increasing number of patients in recent years, the classifier efficiency gets reduced due to high variances observed in ECG signal patterns obtained from patients. In such scenario computer-assisted automated diagnostic tools are important for classification of… More >
