Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the primary reasons for death across the globe which must requires the early diagnosis system. Therefore, we propose a deep learning system for detection of cardiovascular diseases based on the ECG image. The system utilizes Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a framework of VGG16 model to automatically discover effective patterns and features of ECG signals from the image. First, ECG images are preprocessed including removing noise, normalization, and segmentation to enhance data quality. Then, the features of ECG signals which are related to the abnormalities of heart are extracted. Finally, a deep learning model is trained to classify the ECG image to classify cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and irregular heart beat pattern. our system result shows that has increased the accuracy and speed up the process of diagnosing the heart disease to assist the doctor’s decision.
