Automatic diagnosis of the 12-lead ECG using deep learning

The aim of this diploma thesis is to investigate the problematics of automatic ECG diagnostics, namely on twelve-lead recordings. In the first chapter the heart and its electrical activity measurement is described shortly. In addition to that, the abnormalities which are going to be classified in this thesis are also briefly described. In the second chapter, it is described how the ECG was diagnosed earlier, by classical methods that preceded deep learning. Some of the shortcomings that the classical methods have compared to deep learning are also described here. The third part already pays attention to deep learning itself, and its contribution and advantages compared to classical methods. Convolutional neural networks and their individual blocks are also described here, later attention is paid to selected architectures that were used in some studies. The fourth chapter already focuses on the practical part, in which the data used from the PhysioNet database, the proposed algorithm and its implementation are described in more detail. In the fifth chapter the results are discussed and compared to the corresponding publications
