Abstract
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a progressive and complex syndrome resulted from ventricular dysfunction, which is difficult to detect at early stages. Heart rate variability (HRV) has been identified as a prognostic indicator for CHF. The traditional diagnosis methods based on analyzing the electrocardiogram (ECG) are time-consuming and laborious, and the interpretation of the results is subjective. Inspired by the outstanding performance of U-shaped networks in medical image segmentation, in this article, we propose a novel end-to-end classification model based on 2000 intervals between successive R-peaks of ECG signals. The proposed model integrates the outputs of encoders, decoders, and intermediate units through a unified scale operation, which can not only preserve low-level details from the input signals but also extract the high-level pathology-related information. We further employ a variant of residual module with group convolution and squeeze-and-excitation (SE) block, enhancing the network’s expression capability. In addition, considering the challenge of collecting large and diverse samples by individual institutions, we decentralize the data across different clients and extend the proposed model with a federated version, which is able to facilitate multi-institutional collaborations while maintaining data anonymity. A total of 29 CHF patients and 177 non-CHF subjects (i.e., 54 normal sinus rhythm (NSR) subjects, 84 atrial fibrillation (AF), and 39 Apnea subjects) from PhysioBank are included in this article. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms the state of the art both in centralized and decentralized learning, with an accuracy of 89.83% and 87.54%, respectively. The diagnosis model trained in federated framework provides competitive performance to that in centralized learning, which demonstrates its potential of utilizing multisite data to improve CHF detection performance without sharing patient privacy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
