A novel method based on convolutional neural networks for deriving standard 12-lead ECG from serial 3-lead ECG

Abstract: Reconstruction of a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) from a serial 3-lead ECG has been researched in the past to satisfy the need for more wearing comfort and ambulatory situations. The accuracy and real-time performance of traditional methods need to be improved. In this study, we present a novel method based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the synthesis of missing precordial leads. The results show that the proposed method receives better similarity and consumes less time using the PTB database. Particularly, the presented method shows outstanding performance in reconstructing the pathological ECG signal, which is crucial for cardiac diagnosis. Our CNN-based method is shown to be more accurate and time-saving for deployment in non-hospital situations to synthesize a standard 12-lead ECG from a reduced lead-set ECG recording. This is promising for real cardiac care.

Chinese Summary  <20> 一种基于卷积神经网络从3导联心电图推导标准12导联心电图的新方法

摘要:为满足人们佩戴舒适性和行走环境的需求,研究人员对从3导联心电图重建12导联心电图(electrocardiogram,ECG)方法进行了一系列研究。然而,传统方法精度和实时性有待提高。本文提出一种基于卷积神经网络(convolutional neural network,CNN)的导联重构方法。使用PTB数据库进行实验分析,结果表明,该方法重构的心电信号与真实信号之间具有较高相似性和训练效率。该方法在重建病理性心电信号时的表现优于传统算法,对心脏诊断具有重要意义。该方法能够在院外环境下部署,并且能够从较少导联心电图合成标准12导联心电图,对于心脏护理具有重要意义。
