Atrial Fibrillation Detection with Arbitrary Leads via a Codebook-Based Reconstruction-Classification Framework

The paper introduces DCGCNet, a dual-codebook graph collaborative network that jointly reconstructs ECG signals and classifies atrial fibrillation. It incorporates a local‑global contrastive module for noise‑invariant feature learning and an adaptive codebook vector quantizer to prevent codebook collapse. The model achieves state‑of‑the‑art intra‑dataset performance and consistently attains AUC > 0.98 across seven cross‑dataset settings, even under realistic noisy conditions.

AF-Mamba: Efficient Long-Term Signal Modeling for Early Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation Onset

AF-Mamba is a deep learning model that predicts atrial fibrillation (AF) onset one hour in advance using long‑term RR intervals. It combines temporal convolutional networks for local feature extraction with Mamba, a state‑space model for long‑range sequence modeling, achieving high sensitivity (0.889) and specificity (0.943) in subject‑wise testing. The model maintains strong performance across unseen datasets, offering a favorable trade‑off between predictive accuracy and computational efficiency for real‑time ambulatory monitoring.

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.

How does downsampling affect needle electromyography signals? A generalisable workflow for understanding downsampling effects on high-frequency time series

arXiv:2601. 10191v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Automated analysis of needle electromyography (nEMG) signals is emerging as a tool to support the detection of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs), yet the signals' high and heterogeneous sampling rates pose substantial computational challenges for feature-based machine-learning models, particularly for near real-time analysis.

A Dataset and Benchmarks for Atrial Fibrillation Detection from Electrocardiograms of Intensive Care Unit Patients

The paper presents a new labelled ICU dataset and benchmarks for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) from electrocardiograms (ECGs). It compares three AI approaches—feature‑based classifiers, deep learning, and ECG foundation models—across Canadian ICU data and the 2021 PhysioNet challenge, finding that ECG foundation models with transfer learning achieve the highest F1 score (0.89). The study demonstrates the feasibility of automated AF monitoring in ICU settings and provides resources for further research.
