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.

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.
