These results suggest pre-extracted clinical features capture much of the predictive information, and integrating raw signals requires more sophisticated architectures to yield significant benefits.

摘要

In recent years, AI, specifically deep learning, has advanced automated analysis of the ECG signal. This study compares raw signal processing against pre-extracted features for multi-label diagnostic superclass classification using the public PTB-XL dataset and its PTB-XL+ extended dataset with feature sets (Uni-G, 12SL). Three deep learning architectures, namely, CNN-based signal-only, dense network features-only, and combined multi-modal models, have been evaluated using standard PTB-XL splits. Performance results on the test set show that the combined Uni-G/12SL feature-only models performed well (Macro F1 = 0.73, AUC = 0.92). However, it slightly underperformed a signal-only CNN (Macro F1 = 0.75, AUC = 0.93). The combined model performed best, but with only marginal gains over the signal-only model. These results suggest pre-extracted clinical features capture much of the predictive information, and integrating raw signals requires more sophisticated architectures to yield significant benefits.
