Electrocardiography allows fast and noninvasive diagnosis and screening of a wide range of cardiac diseases. The interpretation of ECGs is difficult and depends on the levels of training of the physician. In consequence, pathologies can remain undiagnosed or norm-variations are interpreted as pathological. The PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2020 aims to classify various cardiac pathologies in 12-lead ECGs, data was collected across a variety of different clinics and countries to pave the way for a common evaluation of ECGs. Our Team Heartly-AI proposes a two-step algorithm using a UNet and XGBoost for the 2020 Phys-ioNet Computing in Cardiology Challenge “Classification of 12 lead ECGs”. The algorithm achieved a 5-fold cross-validation metric of 0.113 and scored 0.136 on the official test set, therefore placing us 28th out of the 41 teams in the official ranking.

Abstract
Electrocardiography allows fast and noninvasive diagnosis and screening of a wide range of cardiac diseases. The interpretation of ECGs is difficult and depends on the levels of training of the physician. In consequence, pathologies can remain undiagnosed or norm-variations are interpreted as pathological. The PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2020 aims to classify various cardiac pathologies in 12-lead ECGs, data was collected across a variety of different clinics and countries to pave the way for a common evaluation of ECGs. Our Team Heartly-AI proposes a two-step algorithm using a UNet and XGBoost for the 2020 Phys-ioNet Computing in Cardiology Challenge “Classification of 12 lead ECGs”. The algorithm achieved a 5-fold cross-validation metric of 0.113 and scored 0.136 on the official test set, therefore placing us 28th out of the 41 teams in the official ranking.
