CardioNet-XL 🫀

CardioNet-XL is a specialized 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) designed for multi-label classification of cardiac abnormalities from ECG signal data. Trained on the PTB-XL dataset, the model is optimized to detect five specific classes, providing a high-precision screening tool for clinical decision support.

✨ Features

Multi-label Classification: Simultaneously detects 5 cardiac abnormalities
Optimized Thresholds: Class-specific decision boundaries for clinical use
High Specificity: Excellent performance on ST/T Change (AUC: 0.918) and Normal rhythm (AUC: 0.915)
Lightweight Architecture: 4.1M parameters, suitable for edge deployment
Clinical Ready: Designed with medical decision support in mind
Trained on Large-Scale Data: Leverages the comprehensive PTB-XL dataset

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/CardioNet-XL.git
cd CardioNet-XL

🚀 Quick Start

Load Model and Predict

python

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

# Load the pre-trained model
model = tf.keras.models.load_model('cardionet_xl.h5')

# Define optimal thresholds for each class
thresholds = np.array([0.17, 0.34, 0.43, 0.41, 0.33])
class_labels = ['NORM', 'MI', 'STTC', 'CD', 'HYP']

# Load your ECG data (shape: [batch_size, 1000, channels])
ecg_data = np.load('your_ecg_data.npy')

# Get model predictions
predictions = model.predict(ecg_data)

# Apply optimal thresholds
binary_predictions = (predictions > thresholds).astype(int)

# Display results
for i, sample in enumerate(binary_predictions):
    detected_conditions = [class_labels[j] for j, pred in enumerate(sample) if pred == 1]
    print(f"Sample {i}: {', '.join(detected_conditions) if detected_conditions else 'No abnormalities detected'}")

Input Data Format

Shape: (batch_size, 1000, channels)
Type: Normalized ECG signal (recommend z-score normalization)
Sampling Rate: 500 Hz (downsampled from PTB-XL)
