MULTI-LEVEL CLASSIFICATION BASED ON DEEP LEARNING FOR ACCURATE RISK STRATIFICATION OF ARRHYTHMIAS

Abstract

Arrhythmias, also known as irregular heartbeats, are important health problems that must be accurately identified to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. Within the scope of this study, a network for classifying arrhythmias, which are important in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, was proposed by using one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN), one of the deep learning techniques. With the proposed 1D-CNN architecture, arrhythmia types and normal rhythm ECGs were subjected to a more detailed examination from general to specific according to urgency situations. In the classifications made, first of all, a binary classification was made and an evaluation was made as whether there was a life risk or not. In triple, quadruple and six-fold classification, the detection of arrhythmia status is detailed. More complex classifications have helped to define different types of arrhythmias in more detail. This study proposes a deep learning network for automatic identification and classification of arrhythmias and shows that different arrhythmia conditions can be diagnosed with a single network model by applying the proposed network structure to multi-class arrhythmia disorders.
