An Arrhythmia Classification Model Based on a CNN-LSTM-SE Algorithm.

Arrhythmia is the main cause of sudden cardiac death, and ECG signal analysis is a common method for the noninvasive diagnosis of arrhythmia. In this paper, we propose an arrhythmia classification model based on the combination of a channel attention mechanism (SE module), convolutional neural network (CNN), and long short-term memory neural network (LSTM). The data of this model use the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, and after noise reduction of raw ECG data by the EEMD denoising algorithm, a CNN-LSTM is used to learn features from the data, and the fusion channel attention mechanism is used to adjust the weight of the feature map. The CNN-LSTM-SE model is compared with the LSTM, CNN-LSTM, and LSTM-attention models, and the models are evaluated using Precision, Recall, and F1-Score. The classification performance of the tested CNN-LSTM-SE classification prediction model is better, with a classification accuracy of 98.5%, a classification precision rate of more than 97% for each label, a recall rate of more than 98%, and an F1-score of more than 0.98. It meets the requirements of arrhythmia classification prediction and has a certain practical value.
