Classification of HRV using Long Short-Term Memory Networks

Abstract

This work focus on detection of diseases from Heart Rate Variability (HRV) series using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. First, non-linear models are used to extract sequences of features that characterize the HRV series. These time sequences are then used as input for the LSTM. HRV recordings from the Noltisalis database are used for training and testing this approach. The results indicate that the procedure provides accuracy scores in the range of 86.7% to 90.0 % on the test set.
