Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the world's principal reason for death, accounting it about 17.9 million people per year, as reported by World Health Organization(WHO). Arrhythmia is often a heart disease that is interpreted by a variation in the linearity of the heartbeat. The goal of this study would be to develop a new deep learning technique to accurately interpret arrhythmia utilizing a one-second segment. This paper introduces a novel method for automatic GAN-based arrhythmia classification. The input ECG signal is derived from the fusion of well known Physionet dataset from MIT-BIH and some Hospital ECG databases. The ECG segment over time is used to detect 15 different classes of arrhythmias. The GAN network uses an attention-based generator to learn local essential features and to maintain data integrity for both time and frequency domains. Among these, the highest accuracy obtained is 98\%. It can be inferred from the results that the proposed approach is smart enough to make meaningful predictions and produces excellent performance on the related metrics.
