Overall Architecture
This study introduces a robust and efficient hybrid deep learning framework that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) networks for automated detection and classification of cardiac arrhythmias from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The proposed architecture leverages the complementary strengths of both components: the CNN layers autonomously learn and extract salient morphological features from raw ECG waveforms, while the BLSTM layers effectively model the sequential and temporal dependencies inherent in ECG signals, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy.
CNN Capabilities
The CNN layers in our model are designed to autonomously learn and extract salient morphological features from raw ECG waveforms. This includes capturing patterns related to P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves, which are crucial for identifying various arrhythmia types. This deep learning approach eliminates the need for manual feature engineering, significantly streamlining the preprocessing stage and enhancing scalability.
BLSTM Strengths
The BLSTM layers are critical for effectively modeling the sequential and temporal dependencies inherent in ECG signals. By processing information in both forward and backward directions, BLSTM captures long-term contextual relationships, improving diagnostic accuracy for complex and overlapping ECG waveforms. This is particularly beneficial for conditions where the timing and sequence of cardiac events are vital for diagnosis.
Mish Activation
To further enhance training stability and non-linear representation capability, the Mish activation function is incorporated throughout the network. Mish is a smoother, non-monotonic alternative to traditional functions like ReLU, which helps maintain informative gradients, prevent vanishing gradient issues, and preserve subtle negative values in ECG signals, ultimately boosting overall performance and stability.
Breakthrough Accuracy in Arrhythmia Detection
Our hybrid CNN-BLSTM model achieved an outstanding 99.52% overall classification accuracy for arrhythmia detection, demonstrating superior performance over standalone CNN or BLSTM models. This high precision is critical for reliable automated diagnostics in clinical settings.
99.52% Overall Classification AccuracyEnterprise Process Flow
The model operates as an end-to-end pipeline, processing raw ECG signals through a series of intelligent steps, from feature extraction to final classification, with minimal manual intervention.
