Atrial fibrillation easily leads to stroke, cerebral infarction and other complications, which will seriously harm the life and health of patients. Traditional deep learning methods have weak anti-interference and generalization ability. Therefore, we propose a new-fashioned deep residual-dense network via bidirectional recurrent neural network (RNN) model for atrial fibrillation detection. The combination of one-dimensional dense residual network and bidirectional RNN for atrial fibrillation detection simplifies the tedious feature extraction steps, and constructs the end-to-end neural network to achieve atrial fibrillation detection through data feature learning. Meanwhile, the attention mechanism is utilized to fuse the different features and extract the high-value information. The accuracy of the experimental results is 97.72%, the sensitivity and specificity are 93.09% and 98.71%, respectively compared with other methods.
