用生理模拟与临床经验增强扩散模型,生成更真实的心电图。

Simulator and Experience Enhanced Diffusion Model for Comprehensive ECG Generation

  • 融合物理模拟器与临床经验知识,提升心电图生成的生理合理性。
  • 在真实数据集上,生成信号保真度和文本对齐度均优于基线方法。
  • 适合心电图生成、医学数据合成及心脏病机理研究者使用。

心血管疾病是全球主要致死原因。心电图(ECG)是心脏评估中最常用的无创工具,但因成本、隐私和流程限制,大规模标注的ECG数据集稀缺。生成真实心电图有助于理解心脏电活动机制、构建大规模异构且无偏的数据集,并实现隐私保护下的数据共享。从临床语境生成真实心电图虽重要却研究不足。现有工作利用扩散模型进行文本到心电图生成,但仍面临两大挑战:(i) 忽视心脏活动的生理模拟器知识;(ii) 忽略基于真实临床实践的经验性知识。为此,我们提出SE-Diff,一种结合生理模拟器与经验增强的扩散模型,用于综合心电图生成。SE-Diff通过心搏解码器与模拟一致性约束,将轻量级常微分方程(ODE)基心电模拟器嵌入扩散过程,注入机制先验以生成符合生理特征的波形。同时,设计基于大语言模型的经验检索增强策略,注入临床知识以提供更强生成引导。在真实世界心电图数据集上的大量实验表明,SE-Diff在信号保真度和文本-心电图语义对齐方面均优于基线方法,证明其在文本到心电图生成中的优越性。进一步验证了模拟器与经验知识对下游心电图分类任务的促进作用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are the most widely used non-invasive tool for cardiac assessment, yet large, well-annotated ECG corpora are scarce due to cost, privacy, and workflow constraints. Generating ECGs can be beneficial for the mechanistic understanding of cardiac electrical activity, enable the construction of large, heterogeneous, and unbiased datasets, and facilitate privacy-preserving data sharing. Generating realistic ECG signals from clinical context is important yet underexplored. Recent work has leveraged diffusion models for text-to-ECG generation, but two challenges remain: (i) existing methods often overlook the physiological simulator knowledge of cardiac activity; and (ii) they ignore broader, experience-based clinical knowledge grounded in real-world practice. To address these gaps, we propose SE-Diff, a novel physiological simulator and experience enhanced diffusion model for comprehensive ECG generation. SE-Diff integrates a lightweight ordinary differential equation (ODE)-based ECG simulator into the diffusion process via a beat decoder and simulator-consistent constraints, injecting mechanistic priors that promote physiologically plausible waveforms. In parallel, we design an LLM-powered experience retrieval-augmented strategy to inject clinical knowledge, providing more guidance for ECG generation. Extensive experiments on real-world ECG datasets demonstrate that SE-Diff improves both signal fidelity and text-ECG semantic alignment over baselines, proving its superiority for text-to-ECG generation. We further show that the simulator-based and experience-based knowledge also benefit downstream ECG classification.
