A Hybrid Lightweight 1D CNN-LSTM Architecture for Automated ECG Beat-Wise Classification

Abstract

In this paper we have utilized a hybrid lightweight 1D deep learning model that combines convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) methods for accurate, fast, and automated beat-wise ECG classification. The CNN and LSTM models were designed separately to compare with the hybrid CNN-LSTM model in terms of accuracy, number of parameters, and the time required for classification. The hybrid CNN-LSTM system provides an automated deep feature extraction and classification for six ECG beats classes including Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR), atrial fibrillation (AFIB), atrial flutter (AFL), atrial premature beat (APB), left bundle branch block (LBBB), and right bundle branch block (RBBB). The hybrid model uses the CNN blocks for deep feature extraction and selection from the ECG beat. While the LSTM layer will learn how to extract contextual time information. The results show that the proposed hybrid CNN-LSTM model achieves high accuracy and sensitivity of 98.22% and 98.23% respectively. This model is light and fast in classifying ECG beats and superior to other previously used models which makes it very suitable for embedded systems designs that can be used in clinical applications for monitoring heart diseases in faster and more efficient manner.

Deep learning models for detecting respiratory pathologies from raw lung auscultation sounds

“…True positive (TP), false positive (FP), false negative (FN), and true negative (TN) are four different sorts of statistical values used to calculate these measures (Kanavati et al 2020 ; Alqudah et al 2021c ). All these parameters are extracted from the confusion matrix, the confusion matrix shows four main statistical indices which are used later to calculate performance metric (Obeidat and Alqudah 2021 ; Alqudah and Alqudah 2022b ; Alqudah et al 2021d ), these indices are true positive (TP), false positive (FP), false negative (FN), and true negative (TN) (Alqudah et al 2020 ; Al-Issa and Alqudah 2022 ). Figure 3 shows a simple confusion matrix.…”

Developing a prediction model for successful aging among the elderly using machine learning algorithms

“… 36 , 37 Deep learning techniques are mainly specified and highlighted by building various architectures including tuple and sequential layers in which the next steps of input processing are done. 38 In the way that ML deals with computers in acting and thinking, deep learning focuses on the computer learning to think using the structures formed similar to the human brain. Although ML needs less calculation power, deep learning requires human interventions.…”
