Ventricular arrhythmias classification based on deep learning algorithm

Cardiac arrhythmia is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, where it can be too fast or too slow. This happens when electrical impulses that coordinate the heartbeat fail to work in a correct manner. Some of these diseases show no symptoms, but ECG (electrocardiogram) can help t...

This project aimed to have ECG data extraction to classify the cardiac arrhythmias using deep learning approach for Premature Atrial Contraction, Atrial Tachycardia, Atrial Flutter, Atrial Fibrillation, Premature Ventricular Contraction, Ventricular Tachycardia, Ventricular Fibrillation and Normal Sinus Rhythm. In this project, the final classifying model has achieved an average accuracy of 94.52 across 6 cardiac arrhythmias. All ECG information will be selected from a few databases such as MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, Creighton University Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Database, Intracardiac Atrial Fibrillation Database, Long-Term AF Database, MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database, MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database and MIT-BIH Supraventricular Arrhythmia Database. All these databases have annotated ECG files by cardiologist annotators. These ECG data will have to go through pre-processing to remove noises such as the baseline wanders and powerline interference.
