Compressive Sampling Based Multi-Spectrum Deep Learning for Sub-Nyquist Pacemaker ECG Analysis

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2020 Jul:2020:357-360. doi: 10.1109/EMBC44109.2020.9175625.

Abstract

Automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis for pacemaker patients is crucial for monitoring cardiac conditions and the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization treatment. However, under the condition of energy-saving remote monitoring, the low-sampling-rate issue of an ECG device can lead to the miss detection of pacemaker spikes as well as incorrect analysis on paced rhythm and non-paced arrhythmias. To solve the issue, this paper proposed a novel system that applies the compressive sampling (CS) framework to sub-Nyquist acquire and reconstruct ECG, and then uses multi-dimensional feature-based deep learning to identify paced rhythm and non-paced arrhythmias. Simulation testing results on ECG databases and comparison with existing approaches demonstrate its effectiveness and outstanding performance for pacemaker ECG analysis.
