Abstract
This study aims to predict the risk of cardiovascular complications in elderly patients after open-heart surgery based on multimodal data. I used single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and tri-axial accelerometer data from 80 patients, recorded through a chest-worn heart rate monitor during various physical tests, including the veloergometry test, six-minute walk test, stair climbing test, time up and go (TUG) test, and gait analysis on a treadmill. To ensure data reliability and analytical accuracy, I conducted multi-level preprocessing of the ECG and accelerometer data, including resampling, filtering, outlier detection and removal, and data segmentation. In data analysis, I initially employed machine learning algorithms, including decision trees, KNN, SVM, and random forests, to classify the types of physical activities (e.g., stair climbing, walking, and cycling) performed by the patients.
Subsequently, I used a random forest model to predict patients' heart function status under different activity contexts, adopting the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification as an evaluation standard
