This paper presents a novel deep learning framework for the electrocardiogram (ECG) heartbeat classification. Although there have been some studies with excellent overall accuracy, these studies have not been very accurate in the diagnosis of arrhythmia classes especially such as supraventricular ectopic beat (SVEB) and ventricular ectopic beat (VEB). In our work, we propose a Multi-Scale and Attention based ResNet for heartbeat classification in intra-patient and inter-patient paradigms respectively. Firstly, we extract shallow features from a convolutional layer. Secondly, the shallow features are sent into three branches with different convolution kernels in order to combine receptive fields of different sizes. Finally, fully connected layers are used to classify the heartbeat. Besides, we design a new attention mechanism based on the characteristics of heartbeat data. At last, extensive experiments on benchmark dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.
