- 适合医疗可穿戴设备研发者,尤其关注信号真实性与临床可用性
心电图(ECG)是心脏评估的临床标准,但需专用硬件,难以日常监测。光电容积脉搏波(PPG)广泛存在于可穿戴设备中,但缺乏特异性诊断形态且易受运动和传感器噪声干扰。通过从外周脉搏信号恢复电生理形态,实现PPG-to-ECG生成可弥合这一差距。然而,现有方法多依赖统计对齐与数据驱动生成,未能显式构建以生理为导向的心电-血流动力学因素为结构的潜在空间,也缺乏前向生理动态的约束。为此,本文提出PG-LRF:一种生理引导的潜在修正流框架。PG-LRF引入一个电-血流动力学模拟器,通过共享的心脏周期动态共同建模ECG与PPG。在此模拟器引导下,生理感知自编码器学习到结构化的电-血流动力学潜在空间。随后,将该模拟器指导整合进以PPG为条件的潜在修正流中,在生成过程中强制满足心电形态一致性与心电到脉搏的前向血流动力学一致性。在大规模MC-MED数据集上的实验表明,PG-LRF显著提升了PPG-to-ECG生成效果及下游心血管疾病分类性能,验证了其在心电→脉搏血流动力学路径下生成既信号忠实又生理合理的ECG的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Electrocardiography (ECG) is the clinical standard for cardiac assessment but requires dedicated hardware that does not scale to daily-life monitoring. Photoplethysmography (PPG) is ubiquitous in wearables but lacks ECG-specific diagnostic morphology and is corrupted by motion and sensor noise. PPG-to-ECG generation aims to bridge this gap by recovering electrical morphology and timing from peripheral pulse signals. However, existing methods largely rely on statistical alignment and data-driven generation. They fail to explicitly structure the latent space around physiology-aware electro-hemodynamic factors and lack constraints from forward physiological dynamics. To address these challenges, we propose PG-LRF, a physiology-guided latent rectified flow framework. PG-LRF introduces an electro-hemodynamic simulator that co-models ECG and PPG through shared cardiac phase dynamics. Guided by this simulator, a Physiology-Aware AutoEncoder learns a structured electro-hemodynamic latent space. Then we integrate this simulator guidance into a PPG-conditioned latent rectified flow, enforcing ECG-side morphology consistency and ECG-to-PPG forward hemodynamic consistency during generative transport. Experiments on the large-scale MC-MED dataset demonstrate that PG-LRF significantly improves PPG-to-ECG generation and downstream cardiovascular disease classification, proving its ability to generate ECGs that are both signal-faithful and physiologically plausible under the ECG-to-PPG hemodynamic pathway
