Application of artificial intelligence techniques for automated detection of myocardial infarction: A review
Myocardial infarction (MI) results in heart muscle injury due to receiving
insufficient blood flow. MI is the most common cause of mortality in
middle-aged and elderly individuals around the world. To diagnose MI,
clinicians need to interpret electrocardiography (ECG) signals, which requires
expertise and is subject to observer bias. Artificial intelligence-based
methods can be utilized to screen for or diagnose MI automatically using ECG
signals. In this work, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of artificial
intelligence-based approaches for MI detection based on ECG as well as other
biophysical signals, including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL)
models. The performance of traditional ML methods relies on handcrafted
features and manual selection of ECG signals, whereas DL models can automate
these tasks. The review observed that deep convolutional neural networks
(DCNNs) yielded excellent classification performance for MI diagnosis, which
explains why they have become prevalent in recent years. To our knowledge, this
is the first comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence techniques
employed for MI diagnosis using ECG and other biophysical signals.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure
