Electrocardiogram analysis for cardiac arrhythmia classification and prediction through self attention based auto encoder

Sudden cardiac arrest among young people is a recent worldwide risk, and it is noticed that people with cardiac arrhythmia are more susceptible to various heart diseases. Manual classification can be error-prone hence automation and accuracy must require.

proved an effective cardiac arrhythmia classification strategy with a novel modified Kalman filter
pre-processing. We achieved 24.00 SNRimp, 0.055 RMSE, 22.1 PRD% for -5db, 20.4 SNRimp, 0.0245
RMSE, 12 PRD% whereas 14.05 SNRimp, 0.010 RMSE, and 7.25 PRD%, which reduces the ECG signal
noise during the pre-processing and improves the visibility of the QRS complex and R-R peaks of ECG
waveform. The extracted features were used in network of neurons to execute the classification for
MIT-BIH arrhythmia databases using the newly developed self-attention autoencoder (AE) algorithm.
The results are compared with existing models, revealing that the proposed system outperforms the
classification and prediction of cardiac arrhythmia with a precision of 99.91%, recall of 99.86%, and
accuracy of 99.71%. It is confirmed that self-attention-AE training results are promising, and it benefits
the diagnosis of ECGs for complex cardiac conditions to solve real-world heart problems.
