By using a large dataset of 12-lead ECGs, our team was able to effectively classify different cardiac arrhythmias using models such as XGBoost, gradient boosting and decision trees. These models achieved a classification accuracy of over 80%, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnostic tools. +This project has impressively demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of applying modern data analysis methods and machine learning in the field of cardiology. By using a large dataset of 12-lead ECGs, it was possible to effectively classify different cardiac arrhythmias using models such as XGBoost, gradient boosting and decision trees. These models achieved classification accuracies of and above 80%, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnostic tools. Despite these successes, we encountered challenges such as the lack of datasets for certain demographic groups and the handling of incomplete ECG recordings. These limitations emphasize the need for further research to improve data collection and processing in medical studies. -The application of these analysis techniques not only offers the possibility of making diagnoses more accurately and quickly, but also opens up avenues for the development of personalized treatment approaches tailored to specific patient-individual data. The results of our project suggest that the integration of data science and AI into clinical practice has the potential to significantly improve the treatment of cardiovascular disease. +The application of these analytical techniques not only provides the opportunity to make more accurate and faster diagnoses, but also opens avenues for the development of personalized treatment approaches tailored to specific patient-individual data. + +Ultimately, our research shows that the continued integration and improvement of technological solutions in medical diagnostic procedures is essential for future healthcare.
