Abstract: 
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Electrocardiography (ECG) and Photoplethysmography (PPG) signifies AI's profound influence on heart rate monitoring and analysis. ECG traditionally offers critical insights into cardiac health, necessitating expert interpretation. This study introduces an AI framework with Fast Fourier Transformation Analysis for swift, human-like interpretation of complex ECG signals. A multilayer AI Network accurately detects intricate features, enhancing ECG analysis precision. Leveraging comprehensive datasets, AI models proficiently identify heart dysfunctions like atrial fibrillation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and can estimate age, sex, and race. The proliferation of mobile ECG technologies has spurred AI-based ECG phenotyping, impacting clinical and population health. This research explores AI's role in enhancing cardiac health assessment and clinical decision-making using MATLAB, acknowledging its transformative potential and inherent limitations.
