Abnormal Heartbeat Detection Using Recurrent Neural Networks
share
The observation and management of cardiac features (using automated cardiac auscultation) is of significant interest to the healthcare community. In this work, we propose for the first time the use of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for automated cardiac auscultation and detection of abnormal heartbeat detection. The application of RNNs for this task is compelling since RNNs represent the deep learning technique most adept at dealing with sequential or temporal data. We explore the use of various RNNs models and show through our experimental results that RNN delivers the best-recorded score with only 2.37% error on the test set for automated cardiac auscultation task.
