description Early and highly precise detection is essential for delaying the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous methods primarily based on single-modal data inherently lack sufficient information that compromises detection precision. This paper proposes a novel multi-modal learning method aimed to enhance CAD detection by integrating ECG, PCG, and coupling signals. A novel coupling signal is initially generated by operating the deconvolution of ECG and PCG. Then, various entropy features are extracted from ECG, PCG, and its coupling signals, as well as recurrence deep features also encoded by integrating recurrence plots and a parallel-input 2-D CNN. After feature reduction and selection, final classification is performed by combining optimal multi-modal features and support vector machine. This method was validated on simultaneously recorded standard lead-II ECG and PCG signals from 199 subjects. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed multi-modal method by integrating all signals achieved a notable enhancement in detection performance with best accuracy of 95.96%, notably outperforming results of single-modal and joint analysis with accuracies of 80.41%, 86.51%, 91.44%, and 90.42% using ECG, PCG, coupling signal, and joint ECG and PCG, respectively. This indicates that our multi-modal method provides more sufficient information for CAD detection, with the coupling information playing an important role in classification.
