Towards Deep Learning Surrogate for the Forward Problem in Electrocardiology: A Scalable Alternative to Physics-Based Models

arXiv:2512. 13765v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The forward problem in electrocardiology, computing body surface potentials from cardiac electrical activity, is traditionally solved using physics-based models such as the bidomain or monodomain equations.

Physics-Constrained Deep Learning Model for Contactless Blood Pressure Monitoring from Triaxial Bodyseismography

The paper introduces Phy‑BP, a physics‑constrained deep learning framework for contactless blood pressure monitoring using triaxial bodyseismography (BSG). It employs an adaptive quality‑control algorithm to select cardiogenic‑rich BSG segments and embeds a 3‑D wave‑propagation physical model into the neural network to align multi‑axis features, enhancing robustness to real‑world distortions. Experiments on a 162‑hour hospital dataset from 21 subjects demonstrate that Phy‑BP can filter low‑quality measurements and maintain accurate BP estimation even with limited training data.

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.

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.
