Analyzing the cardiovascular system condition via Electrocardiography (ECG)
is a common and highly effective approach, and it has been practiced and
perfected over many decades. ECG sensing is non-invasive and relatively easy to
acquire, and yet it is still cumbersome for holter monitoring tests that may
span over hours and even days. A possible alternative in this context is
Photoplethysmography (PPG): An optically-based signal that measures blood
volume fluctuations, as typically sensed by conventional ``wearable devices''.
While PPG presents clear advantages in acquisition, convenience, and
cost-effectiveness, ECG provides more comprehensive information, allowing for a
more precise detection of heart conditions. This implies that a conversion from
PPG to ECG, as recently discussed in the literature, inherently involves an
unavoidable level of uncertainty. In this paper we introduce a novel
methodology for addressing the PPG-2-ECG conversion, and offer an enhanced
classification of cardiovascular conditions using the given PPG, all while
taking into account the uncertainties arising from the conversion process. We
provide a mathematical justification for our proposed computational approach,
and present empirical studies demonstrating its superior performance compared
to state-of-the-art baseline methods.
