Myocarditis is cardiac damage caused by a viral infection. Its result often leads to a variety of arrhythmias. However, rapid and reliable identification of myocarditis has a great impact on early diagnosis, expedited treatment, and improved patient survival rates. Therefore, a novel strategy for the autonomous detection of myocarditis is suggested in this work. First, the improved quantum genetic algorithm (IQGA) is proposed to extract the optimal features of ECG beat and heart rate variability (HRV) from raw ECG signals. Second, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is optimized using the adaptive differential evolution (ADE) algorithm to classify various ECG signal types with high accuracy. This study examines analogies among five different ECG signal types: normal, abnormal, myocarditis, myocardial infarction (MI), and prior myocardial infarction (PMI). Additionally, the study uses binary and multiclass classification to group myocarditis with other cardiovascular disorders in order to assess how well the algorithm performs in categorization. The experimental results demonstrate that the combination of IQGA and ADE-BPNN can effectively increase the precision and accuracy of myocarditis autonomous diagnosis. In addition, HRV assesses the method’s robustness, and the classification tool can detect viruses in myocarditis patients one week before symptoms worsen. The model can be utilized in intensive care units or wearable monitoring devices and has strong performance in the detection of myocarditis.
