• Abstract: Current computer-aided ECG diagnostic systems struggle with the underdetection of rare but critical cardiac anomalies due to the imbalanced nature of ECG datasets. This study introduces a novel approach using self-supervised anomaly detection pretraining to address this limitation. The anomaly detection model is specifically designed to detect and localize subtle deviations from normal cardiac patterns, capturing the nuanced details essential for accurate ECG interpretation. Validated on an extensive dataset of over one million ECG records from clinical practice, characterized by a long-tail distribution across 116 distinct categories, the anomaly detection-pretrained ECG diagnostic model has demonstrated a significant improvement in overall accuracy. Notably, our approach yielded a 94.7% AUROC, 92.2% sensitivity, and 92.5\% specificity for rare ECG types, significantly outperforming traditional methods and narrowing the performance gap with common ECG types. The integration of anomaly detection pretraining into ECG analysis represents a substantial contribution to the field, addressing the long-standing challenge of long-tail data distributions in clinical diagnostics. Furthermore, prospective validation in real-world clinical settings revealed that our AI-driven approach enhances diagnostic efficiency, precision, and completeness by 32%, 6.7%, and 11.8% respectively, when compared to standard practices. This advancement marks a pivotal step forward in the integration of AI within clinical cardiology, with particularly profound implications for emergency care, where rapid and accurate ECG interpretation is crucial. The contributions of this study not only push the boundaries of current ECG diagnostic capabilities but also lay the groundwork for more reliable and accessible cardiovascular care.

  Existing systems often miss rare cardiac anomalies that could be precursors to serious, life-threatening issues or alterations in the cardiac macro/microstructure. We focus on self-supervised anomaly detection (AD), training exclusively on normal ECGs to recognize deviations indicating anomalies. We introduce a novel self-supervised learning framework for ECG AD, utilizing a vast dataset of normal ECGs to autonomously detect and localize cardiac anomalies.

  Existing databases for ECG delineation are small, being insufficient in size and in the array of pathological conditions they represent. This article delves has two main contributions. First, a pseudo-synthetic data generation algorithm was developed, based in probabilistically composing ECG traces given "pools" of fundamental segments, as cropped from the original databases, and a set of rules for their arrangement into coherent synthetic traces. Second, two novel segmentation-based loss functions have been developed, which attempt at enforcing the prediction of an exact number of independent structures and at producing closer segmentation boundaries by focusing on a reduced number of samples.
