Abstract

In the present study recurrent neural networks, in particular Echo State Networks (ESNs), have been applied for the prediction of Brugada Syndrome (BrS) from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The research lays its foundations in BrAID (Brugada syndrome and Artificial Intelligence applications to Diagnosis), a project aimed at developing an innovative system for early detection and classification of BrS Type 1. The ultimate objective of the BrAID platform is to help clinicians to improve the BrS diagnosis process, to detect a pattern in ECG, and to combine them with multi-omics information through Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Machine Learning (ML) models, such as ESNs. We report novel preliminary results of this approach, presenting the first baseline results, in terms of accuracy, for BrS recognition using ECG analysis, with the application of ESNs. Such results are particularly encouraging and may shed light on the possibility of using this model as a computational intelligence clinical support system tool for healthcare applications.
