[A myocardial infarction detection and localization model based on multi-scale field residual blocks fusion with modified channel attention].

Abstract

Objectives: We propose a myocardial infarction (MI) detection and localization model for improving the diagnostic accuracy for MI to provide assistance to clinical decision-making.

Methods: The proposed model was constructed based on multi-scale field residual blocks fusion modified channel attention (MSF-RB-MCA). The model utilizes lead II electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to detect and localize MI, and extracts different levels of feature information through the multi-scale field residual block. A modified channel attention for automatic adjustment of the feature weights was introduced to enhance the model's ability to focus on the MI region, thereby improving the accuracy of MI detection and localization.

Results: A 5-fold cross-validation test of the model was performed using the publicly available Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) dataset. For MI detection, the model achieved an accuracy of 99.96% on the test set with a specificity of 99.84% and a sensitivity of 99.99%. For MI localization, the accuracy, specificity and sensitivity were 99.81%, 99.98% and 99.65%, respectively. The performances of the model for MI detection and localization were superior to those of other comparison models.

Conclusions: The proposed MSF-RB-MCA model shows excellent performance in AI detection and localization based on lead II ECG signals, demonstrating its great potential for application in wearable devices.
