Abstract

Fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) provides a non-invasive means to assess fetal heart health, but isolating the fetal signal from the dominant maternal ECG remains challenging. This study introduces the FHH-AMGNN-HTSOA-ECG-AD method for enhanced fetal arrhythmia detection. It employs Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform for denoising and utilizes an Auto-Metric Graph Neural Network (AMGNN) optimized by the Hazelnut Tree Search Algorithm (HTSOA). This integration enables accurate classification of normal and abnormal fetal heart signals. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy, precision, and specificity.
