Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Early detection and intervention of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cornerstone for effective treatment and prevention of mortality. Diverse deep learning models (DLMs) have been developed, but they could not be applied in clinical practice owing to their lack of interpretability. We developed an explainable DLM to detect AF using ECG and validated its performance using diverse formats of ECG.
