Interpretability Analysis of Heartbeat Classification Based on Heartbeat Activity’s Global Sequence Features and BiLSTM-Attention Neural Network
Arrhythmia is a disease that threatens human life. Therefore, timely diagnosis of arrhythmia is of great significance in preventing heart disease and sudden cardiac death. The BiLSTM-Attention neural network model with heartbeat activity's global sequence features can effectively improve the accuracy of heartbeat classification. Firstly, the noise is removed by the continuous wavelet transform method. Secondly, the peak of the R wave is detected by the tagged database, and then the P-QRS-T wave morphology and the RR interval are extracted. This feature set is heartbeat activity's global sequence features, which combines single heartbeat morphology and 21 consecutive RR intervals. Finally, the Bi-LSTM algorithm and the BiLSTM-Attention algorithm are used to identify heartbeat category respectively, and the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is used to verify the algorithm. The results show that the BiLSTM-Attention model combined with heartbeat activity's global sequence features has higher interpretability than other methods discussed in this paper.
