Coronary Artery Disease Classification Using One-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network
This work addresses early CAD detection to reduce mortality rates, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing method (1D-CNN) to new data without major innovations.
The paper tackled coronary artery disease (CAD) classification by applying a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) to ECG signals, achieving the highest accuracy for unseen data with a sample length of 250.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) diagnostic to be a major global cause of death, necessitating innovative solutions. Addressing the critical importance of early CAD detection and its impact on the mortality rate, we propose the potential of one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNN) to enhance detection accuracy and reduce network complexity. This study goes beyond traditional diagnostic methodologies, leveraging the remarkable ability of 1D-CNN to interpret complex patterns within Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals without depending on feature extraction techniques. We explore the impact of varying sample lengths on model performance and conduct experiments involving layers reduction. The ECG data employed were obtained from the PhysioNet databases, namely the MIMIC III and Fantasia datasets, with respective sampling frequencies of 125 Hz and 250 Hz. The highest accuracy for unseen data obtained with a sample length of 250. These initial findings demonstrate the potential of 1D-CNNs in CAD diagnosis using ECG signals and highlight the sample size's role in achieving high accuracy.
