ImputeECG: Deep Learning Reconstruction of Complete 12-Lead Electrocardiograms from Incomplete Recordings for Cardiac Assessment

arXiv:2607. 05009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Complete digital 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) are essential for AI-enabled cardiovascular assessment, yet many clinical ECG records, particularly those digitized from ECG images, remain incomplete because of short display formats, incomplete waveform digitization, lead loss, or signal corruption.

Automated ECG Interval Measurement and Wave Delineation Using Fast Fourier Convolution ResNet

arXiv:2608. 00058v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate measurement of ECG intervals, including PR, QRS duration, and QT/QTc, is central to cardiac diagnosis, yet the published ECG delineation literature evaluates performance almost exclusively as fiducial-point timing errors on small curated databases, rather than as clinical interval accuracy on large unselected cohorts.

ECG-SDI: Single-lead Electrocardiogram Enables Continuous Sleep Depth Index Profiling and Scalable Digital Biomarkers for Sleep Health

ECG‑SDI is a single‑lead electrocardiography framework that provides continuous sleep‑depth profiling and digital biomarker extraction. Trained on 12,392 overnight polysomnographic recordings, the two‑stage deep learning model achieved strong correlations with conventional sleep stages (0.828–0.848) and high REM classification AUROCs (0.954–0.977). The approach identified a disturbed sleep subtype linked to poorer subjective quality and higher mortality, and demonstrated measurable improvements in sleep‑depth metrics after CPAP therapy, suggesting its utility for home‑based sleep monitoring.

Physiology-Aware CNN and Zero-Shot Multimodal LLMs for ECG Image Classification: A Comparative Study

Multimodal large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted to interpret 12-lead ECG images, though the interpretations often lack validation. However, ECG image understanding significantly differs from general images as it depends on precise waveform morphology, lead relationships and accurate interval measurements.

LAEF: A Lead-Agnostic ECG Foundation Model Towards Point-of-Care Diagnostics

arXiv:2608. 03690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Point-of-care cardiac devices such as smartwatches and handheld ECG recorders typically capture 1--2 leads, yet existing ECG foundation models are architecturally constrained to fixed 12-lead inputs, degrading or failing under these reduced configurations.

BEAT-Net: Injecting Biomimetic Spatio-Temporal Priors for Interpretable ECG Diagnosis

BEAT-Net is a supervised biomimetic framework for ECG diagnosis that incorporates QRS-centered tokenization and a hierarchical architecture mirroring a cardiologist’s workflow. It processes heartbeat sequences through morphological, spatial, temporal, and transformer-based stages, achieving an AUC of 0.924 on large benchmarks while using only 0.7 million parameters. The model outperforms the 39.5‑million‑parameter HeartLang foundation model on morphological form classification and demonstrates superior cross‑dataset generalization with only 35% of the training data.

Beyond Local Inspection: Global, Guideline-Grounded Evaluation of Post-hoc XAI Methods for ECG Classification

arXiv:2607. 24035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explainable AI (XAI) is used to assess whether artificial intelligence models rely on meaningful patterns, yet explanations that appear plausible for individual predictions may systematically misrepresent model behavior.

Learning Cardiac Features: ECG Biometrics Across Time and~Exercise

The study investigates ECG biometrics by training a Siamese ResNet with late multi-lead fusion on a large dataset from cardiopulmonary exercise tests. It evaluates the model under realistic conditions, including exercise-induced stress and cross-session variability, achieving an intra-session rest-to-peak EER of 1.7% and a state‑of‑the‑art 3.9% on the CYBHi dataset. The results demonstrate that an intrinsic cardiac signature remains robust to physiological and temporal drift.
