Detecting and interpreting myocardial infarction using fully convolutional neural networks.
Physiological Measurement 2019 January 16
OBJECTIVE: We aim to provide an algorithm for the detection of myocardial infarction that operates directly on ECG data without any preprocessing and to investigate its decision criteria.
APPROACH: We train an ensemble of fully convolutional neural networks on the PTB ECG dataset and apply state-of-the-art attribution methods.
MAIN RESULTS: Our classifier reaches 93.3% sensitivity and 89.7% specificity evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation with sampling based on patients. The presented method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches and reaches the performance level of human cardiologists for detection of myocardial infarction. We are able to discriminate channel-specific regions that contribute most significantly to the neural network's decision. Interestingly, the network's decision is influenced by signs also recognized by human cardiologists as indicative of myocardial infarction.
SIGNIFICANCE: Our results demonstrate the high prospects of algorithmic ECG analysis for future clinical applications considering both its quantitative performance as well as the possibility of assessing decision criteria on a per-example basis, which enhances the comprehensibility of the approach.
