Abstract

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is consistently used as a measure to medical monitoring technology that records the cardiac activity to identify the cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) which are the foremost reason of death globally these days. Regrettably, seeking medical experts to analyse big amount ECG signal consumes an inordinate number of medical resources. As a result, machine learning based approaches for identifying ECG characteristics have gradually gained popularity. However, these traditional approaches have some disadvantages, such as the need for manual feature recognition, complex representations, and a prolonged training period. In this article, we present a method for identifying the five classes of heart-beat categories in the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia dataset using A Multi-layer Deep Learning Model (MLDLM) in compliance with the AAMI EC57 standard. The proposed MLDLM technique was tested using MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Dataset which has 1,09,446 ECG heart-beats and sample frequency 125 Hz. This initial dataset contains the classes N, S, V, F, and Q. The PTB Diagnostic ECG Dataset is the second dataset, which is divided into two categories. The results show that the suggested approach is capable of making predictions with average accuracies of 98.75 on MIT-BIH Arrhythmia dataset and 98.87 on MI classification.
