arXiv:2608.00058v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate measurement of ECG intervals, including PR, QRS duration, and QT/QTc, is central to cardiac diagnosis, yet the published ECG delineation literature evaluates performance almost exclusively as fiducial-point timing errors on small curated databases, rather than as clinical interval accuracy on large unselected cohorts. We bridge this gap by evaluating a complete end-to-end pipeline on 10,646 clinical 12-lead ECGs and reporting the first large-scale interval measurement accuracy study with full statistical characterisation, including bias, 95% limits of agreement (Bland-Altman), bootstrap confidence intervals, and rhythm-stratified error analysis. The underlying delineation is performed by a Fast Fourier Convolution ResNet (FFCResNet), adapting local temporal convolutions with global spectral processing via FFT and augmented with register tokens for contextual feature learning. Three per-wave models (P, QRS, and T) are trained on six public databases with ECG-specific augmentation. On 10,646 ECGs, the system achieves a QT MAE of 17.5 ms [95% CI: 16.9-18.2], with a Bland-Altman bias of +8.5 ms (LoA: -68.5 to +85.5 ms); a QRS duration MAE of 14.8 ms [95% CI: 14.6-15.0], with a bias of +12.6 ms (LoA: -12.3 to +37.6 ms); and a ventricular rate MAE of 0.8 beats/min. All biases are statistically significant by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p < 0.001) but remain within or near published inter-observer variability bounds for sinus rhythms. Rhythm-stratified analysis reveals substantially higher QT errors for …
