Machine learning in the electrocardiogram

Mincholé, Ana, Camps, Julià, Lyon, Aurore, Rodríguez, Blanca·2019·Journal of Electrocardiology

Abstract

The electrocardiogram is the most widely used diagnostic tool that records the electrical activity of the heart and, therefore, its use for identifying markers for early diagnosis and detection is of paramount importance. In the last years, the huge increase of electronic health records containing a systematised collection of different type of digitalised medical data, together with new tools to analyse this large amount of data in an efficient way have re-emerged the field of machine learning in healthcare innovation. This review describes the most recent machine learning-based systems applied to the electrocardiogram as well as pros and cons in the use of these techniques. Machine learning, including deep learning, have shown to be powerful tools for aiding clinicians in patient screening and risk stratification tasks. However, they do not provide the physiological basis of classification outcomes. Computational modelling and simulation can help in the interpretation and understanding of key physiologically meaningful ECG biomarkers extracted from machine learning techniques.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Wearable ECG sensors continuously monitor heart activity and facilitate early detection of arrhythmias and cardiovascular abnormalities.

    “In this regard, wearable ECG sensors continuously monitor heart activity and facilitate early detection of arrhythmias and cardiovascular abnormalities [181].”
  • Multimodal sensing, combining ECG data with other physiological and environmental parameters, such as EOG, EMG, temperature, strain, humidity, and bacterial infection, facilitated a comprehensive health profile.

    “Additionally, multimodal sensing, combining ECG data with other physiological and environmental parameters, such as EOG, EMG, temperature, strain, humidity, and bacterial infection, facilitated a comprehensive health profile [8,181,237] (Figure 7c).”
  • Integrating AI and ML algorithms into wearable ECG sensors has substantially enhanced the accuracy of ECG analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
