Abstract
Access to accurate and precise monitoring systems for cardiac arrhythmia could contribute significantly to preventing damage and subsequent heart disorders. The present research concentrates on using photoplethysmography (PPG) and arterial blood pressure (ABP) with deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for the classification and detection of fetal cardiac arrhythmia or premature ventricular contractions (PMVCs). The framework for the study entails (Icentia 11k) a public dataset of ECG signals consisting of different cardiac abnormalities. Following this, the weights obtained from the Icentia 11k dataset are transferred to the proposed CNN. Finally, fine-tuning was carried out to improve the accuracy of classification. Results obtained showcase the capacity of the proposed method to detect and classify PMVCs into three types: Normal, P1, and P2 with an accuracy of 99.9%, 99.8%, and 99.5%.
