CNN-based arrhythmia classifier that fuses the magnitude (scalogram) and phase (phasogram) of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) of ECG heartbeats, rather than relying on magnitude information alone as most prior 2D-representation approaches do. Several fusion strategies (input-level, intermediate-layer, and output-level fusion) were compared on the public PhysioNet MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. Despite a simple CNN architecture, the best fusion strategy achieved about 98.5% overall accuracy, 98.5% sensitivity and 95.6% specificity, competitive with more complex state-of-the-art approaches.

Explainable Inception-style 1D CNN for multi-label arrhythmia detection from 12-lead ECGs, integrating Grad-CAM visualization to highlight the waveform segments driving each prediction. Trained on MIMIC-IV-ECG and externally validated on PTB-XL across atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia, conduction disturbances (RBBB/LBBB/LAFB), long QT, Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern, and paced-rhythm detection, with all metrics exceeding 90% internally and strong generalization on external validation.

1D residual neural network that screens 10-second, 12-lead ECG tracings for six common abnormalities: first- and second-degree AV block patterns, right and left bundle branch block, sinus bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, and sinus tachycardia. Reported F1 scores above 80% and specificity over 99% when benchmarked against cardiology residents. Developed at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and trained on the large Brazilian CODE-15% ECG dataset.

Multi-task 12-lead ECG model with output heads for incident atrial-fibrillation risk (as a survival curve), incident mortality risk, prevalent AF classification, sex classification, and age regression. Built on a 1D CNN over the raw waveform, and developed by the Broad Institute's ML4H group as a successor to their ECG-AI model published in Circulation. Trained on ECGs from UK Biobank and Massachusetts General Hospital, neither of which is publicly released.

Self-supervised ECG representation learned purely from patient identity: the model is trained so that ECGs from the same patient, recorded at different times, map to nearby points in latent space, with no other labels required. Linear models trained on these representations showed a 51% average performance gain over training from scratch across sex classification, age regression, LVH detection, and AF detection. Developed by the Broad Institute's ML4H group and trained on 3.2 million private ECGs from Massachusetts General Hospital; 12-lead, lead-I-only, and lead-II-only checkpoints are all released.
