Abstract

Our research tackles the critical issue of congestive heart failure (CHF), a serious cardiovascular condition in which the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively is compromised, leading to fluid buildup. Existing diagnostic methods often struggle with signal processing and manual Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, resulting in reduced accuracy and added complexity in diagnosis. To overcome these challenges, we present an innovative framework that integrates GQRS detection of RR peaks and intervals from ECG data. We then propose a hybrid CNN-LSTM network specifically designed for CHF diagnosis. What sets our approach apart is the strategic application of deep learning, combining the feature extraction strengths of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the temporal processing capabilities of LSTM networks. This combination enhances diagnostic outcomes, significantly improving the accuracy of CHF detection and representing a notable advancement in clinical diagnostics. Our research highlights the potential of deep learning to enhance diagnostic precision and support clinical decision-making for CHF. By leveraging advanced technologies and methodologies, we aim to revolutionize cardiovascular health monitoring and contribute to more effective patient care strategies. This innovative approach achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 98.77
