It contained 10\u2009s ECGs taken from the MADIT-CRT clinical trial. The database was divided into a training dataset (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009300, strict LBBB\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009174, non-strict LBBB\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009126) and a test dataset (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009302, strict LBBB\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009156, non-strict LBBB\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009146). LBBB-related features were extracted by Philips DXL\n                    <jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup>\n                    algorithm, selected by a random forest classifier, and fed into a 5-layer neural network (NN) for the classification of strict LBBB on the training dataset. The performance of NN on the test dataset was compared to two random forest classifiers, an algorithm applying strict LBBB criteria, a wavelet-based approach, and a support-vector-machine approach. The consistency of NN\u2019s detection was tested on 549 2\u2009min recordings of the PTB diagnostic ECG database. LBBB annotations are not required to measure consistency.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The performance of NN on the test dataset were sensitivity\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200991. 7%, specificity\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200985.6% and accuracy\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200988.7% (PPV\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200987.2%, NPV\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u200990.6%). The consistency score of strict-LBBB and non-strict-LBBB detection was 0.9341 and 0.9973 respectively.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                    : NN achieved the highest specificity, accuracy, and PPV.
