Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for localizing where in a heart an arrhythmia originates. Electrical data may be recorded using an electrocardiography device, the electrical data corresponding to electrical activity in the heart of a subject. The electrical data (or portions or representations thereof) may be fed to one or more convolutional neural networks. The one or more neural networks may provide an identification of a segment of the heart at which an arrhythmia originates, and whether the arrhythmia has an epicardial or endocardial focus. Arrhythmias may localized and classified non-invasively using only data acquired using, for example, a 12-lead ECG.
