Abstract
ECG helps in diagnosing heart disease by recording heart activity. During long-term measurements, data loss occurs due to sensor detachment. Therefore, research into the reconstruction of missing ECG data is essential. However, ECG requires user participation and cannot be used for continuous heart monitoring. Continuous monitoring of PPG signals is conversely low-cost and easy to carry out. In this study, a deep neural network model is proposed for the reconstruction of missing ECG signals using PPG data. This model is an end-to-end deep learning neural network utilizing WNet architecture as a basis, on which a bidirectional long short-term memory network is added in establishing a second model. The performance of both models is verified using 146 records from the MIMIC III matched subset. Compared with the reference, the ECG reconstructed using the proposed model has a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.851, root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.075, percentage root mean square difference (PRD) of 5.452, and a Fréchet distance (FD) of 0.302. The experimental results demonstrate that it is feasible to reconstruct missing ECG signals from PPG.
