morePhysicians manually interpret an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal morphology in routine clinical practice. This activity is a monotonous and abstract task that relies on the experience of understanding ECG waveform meaning, including P-wave, QRS-complex, and T-wave. Such a manual process depends on signal quality and the number of leads. ECG signal classification based on deep learning (DL) has produced an automatic interpretation; however, the proposed method is used for specific abnormality conditions. When the ECG signal morphology change to other abnormalities, it cannot proceed automatically. To generalize the automatic interpretation, we aim to delineate ECG waveform. However, the output of delineation process only ECG waveform duration classes for P-wave, QRS-complex, and T-wave. It should be combined with a medical knowledge rule to produce the abnormality interpretation. The proposed model is applied for atrial fibrillation (AF) identification. This study meets the AF criteri...
