Paulo Vinicius Masnik, Roberto Alexandre Dias, Mario De Noronha Neto . Detection of Myocardial Infarction in Electrocardiograms using Machine Learning. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 9 ( Jun 2021), 12-19. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921384
Abstract
Currently, millions of people in the world have some type of deficiency in the cardiovascular system, more specifically anomalies in the heart and its heartbeat, most of these individuals end up not discovering these problems in advance, which would have a great impact on the chance of survival. In Brazil, the number of deaths caused by heart problems exceeds 350 thousand per year. The solution found to assist in the prevention and detection of pre-existing problems starts from the approach of analyzing electrocardiograms of people with already known conditions and anomalies, starting from the machine learning method for preventing conditions with only data input to a model. The proposal of this work designs in a prototype in which, in just a few moments, it generates a prediction with a considerable success rate, capable of assisting health professionals to make decisions regarding the patient's situation, based on the analysis of waves from an electrocardiogram (ECG). During this work, it is demonstrated the entire process of data acquisition and selection, treatment and filtering of wave signals until the development of an exam prediction. The results found were correct rates in the infarction class, higher than 80, 90 and up to 95%. It is also important to understand that the increase in the hit rate of the class with the anomaly tends to decrease the hit rate of normal exams.
