AArrhythmia is an irregular in a person's beating heart that can happen occasionally. Heart rhythm problems can have disastrous results and seriously endanger health. Visually analyzing ECG data might be complex due to its large amount of information. Designing an automated method to assess the massive amount of ECG data is crucial. This research shows continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and deep learning strategies to automate detection and classification processes to examine three different ECG signals: congestive heart failure (CHF), normal sinus rhythm (NSR), and arrhythmia (ARR). CWT converts ECG signals into scalogram images for noise reduction and feature extraction. In deep learning, the modified SqueezeNet is employed to recognize the output of CWT, which is produced by the input of the ECG data. The proposed technique achieved 83.3%, 100%, and 94.7% accuracy in detecting CHF, NSR, and ARR. A comprehensive approach for classifying arrhythmias has been proposed, in which scalogram pictures of ECG waves are trained using the SqueezeNet model. The outcomes are superior to other current techniques and will significantly reduce wrong diagnoses
