Abstract
In this paper, we present our research which confirms the suitability of the convolutional neural network usage for the classification of single-lead ECG recordings. The proposed method was designed for classifying normal sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation (AF), non-AF related other abnormal heart rhythms and noisy signals. The method combines manually selected features with the features learned by the deep neural network. The Physionet Challenge 2017 dataset of over 8500 ECG recordings was used for the model training and validation. The trained model reaches an average F1-score 0.71 in classifying normal sinus rhythm, AF and other rhythms respectively.
