Automated detection of coronary artery disease using different durations of ECG segments with convolutional neural network

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is caused due by the blockage of inner walls of coronary arteries by plaque. This constriction reduces the blood flow to the heart muscles resulting in myocardial infarction (MI). The electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used to screen the cardiac health. The ECG signals...
