This document discusses a study that uses discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to extract features from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and then uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify the signals as normal or abnormal. DWT is used to represent the ECG signals at different resolutions, which allows numerical features to be extracted. A CNN is then trained on the extracted features to predict whether signals indicate normal or abnormal heart conditions. The goal is to develop an efficient early detection system for cardiovascular disease by combining DWT feature extraction and CNN classification of ECG signals.

Classification and Detection of ECG-signals using Artificial Neural NetworksGaurav upadhyay
Electrocardiogram (ECG), a noninvasive technique is used as a primary diagnostic tool for
cardiovascular diseases. A cleaned ECG signal provides necessary information about the
electrophysiology of the heart diseases and ischemic changes that may occur. It provides
valuable information about the functional aspects of the heart and cardiovascular system. The

ECG signal consists of following stages: detection of QRS complex in ECG signal; feature
extraction from detected QRS complexes; classification of beats using extracted feature set

detection of cardiac arrhythmias in ECG signal. Hence, in this thesis, we developed the
automatic algorithms for classification of heartbeats to detect cardiac arrhythmias in ECG
signal.QRS complex detection is the first step towards automatic detection of cardiac
arrhythmias in ECG signal. A novel algorithm for accurate detection of QRS complex in ECG
signal peak classification approach is used in ECG signal for determining various diseases . As

heart of human. Therefore duration and amplitude of all peaks are found. R-R and P-R
intervals are calculated. Finally, we have obtained the necessary information for disease
detection .For detection of cardiac arrhythmias; the extracted features in the ECG signal will
be input to the classifier. The extracted features contain morphological l features of each
heartbeat in the ECG signal. This project is implemented by using MATLAB software. An
interface was created to easily select and process the signal. “.dat” format is used the for ECG

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS FOR CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA C...IAEME Publication
In this paper an effective and most reliable method for appropriate classification of cardiac arrhythmia using automatic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been proposed. The results are encouraging and are found to have produced a very confident and efficient arrhythmia classification, which is easily applicable in diagnostic decision support system. The authors have employed 3 neural network classifiers to classify three types of beats of ECG signal, namely Normal (N), and two abnormal beats Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) and Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC). The classifiers used in this paper are K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) and Multi-Class Support Vector Machine (MSVM). The performance of the classifiers is evaluated using 5 parametric measures namely Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp), Precision (Pr), Bit Error Rate (BER) and Accuracy (A). Hence MSVM classifier using Crammers method is very effective for proper ECG beat classification.

AR-based Method for ECG Classification and Patient RecognitionCSCJournals
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the recording of heart activity obtained by measuring the signals from electrical contacts placed on the skin of the patient. By analyzing ECG, it is possible to detect the rate and consistency of heartbeats and identify possible irregularities in heart operation. This paper describes a set of techniques employed to pre-process the ECG signals and extract a set of features – autoregressive (AR) signal parameters used to characterise ECG signal. Extracted parameters are in this work used to accomplish two tasks. Firstly, AR features belonging to each ECG signal are classified in groups corresponding to three different heart conditions – normal, arrhythmia and ventricular arrhythmia. Obtained classification results indicate accurate, zero-error classification of patients according to their heart condition using the proposed method. Sets of extracted AR coefficients are then extended by adding an additional parameter – power of AR modelling error and a suitability of developed technique for individual patient identification is investigated. Individual feature sets for each group of detected QRS sections are classified in p clusters where p represents the number of patients in each group. Developed system has been tested using ECG signals available in MIT/BIH and Politecnico of Milano VCG/ECG database. Achieved recognition rates indicate that patient identification using ECG signals could be considered as a possible approach in some applications using the system developed in this work. Pre-processing stages, applied parameter extraction techniques and some intermediate and final classification results are described and presented in this paper.

Rule Based Identification of Cardiac Arrhythmias from Enhanced ECG Signals Us...CSCJournals
The detection of abnormal cardiac rhythms, automatic discrimination from rhythmic heart activity, became a thrust area in clinical research. Arrhythmia detection is possible by analyzing the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal features. The presence of interference signals, like power line interference (PLI), Electromyogram (EMG) and baseline drift interferences, could cause serious problems during the recording of ECG signals. Many a time, they pose problem in modern control and signal processing applications by being narrow in-band interference near the frequencies carrying crucial information. This paper presents an approach for ECG signal enhancement by combining the attractive properties of principal component analysis (PCA) and wavelets, resulting in multi-scale PCA. In Multi-Scale Principal Component Analysis (MSPCA), the PCA’s ability to decorrelate the variables by extracting a linear relationship and wavelet analysis are utilized. MSPCA method effectively processed the noisy ECG signal and enhanced signal features are used for clear identification of arrhythmias. In MSPCA, the principal components of the wavelet coefficients of the ECG data at each scale are computed first and are then combined at relevant scales. Statistical measures computed in terms of root mean square deviation (RMSD), root mean square error (RMSE), root mean square variation (RMSV) and improvement in signal to noise ratio (SNRI) revealed that the Daubechies based MSPCA outperformed the basic wavelet based processing for ECG signal enhancement. With enhanced signal features obtained after MSPCA processing, the detectable measures, QRS duration and R-R interval are evaluated. By using the rule base technique, projecting the detectable measures on a two dimensional area, various arrhythmias are detected depending upon the beat falling into particular place of the two dimensional area.
Heart rate detection using hilbert transformeSAT Journals
Abstract The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a well known method that can be used to measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV). This paper describes a procedure for processing electrocardiogram signals (ECG) to detect Heart Rate Variability (HRV). In recent years, there have been wide-ranging studies on Heart rate variability in ECG signals and analysis of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). Normally the Heart rate variability is studied based on cycle length variability, heart period variability, RR variability and RR interval tachogram. The HRV provides information about the sympathetic-parasympathetic autonomic stability and consequently about the risk of unpredicted cardiac death. The heart beats in ECG signal are detected by detecting R-Peaks in ECG signals and used to determine useful information about the various cardiac abnormalities. The temporal locations of the R-wave are identified as the locations of the QRS complexes. In the presence of poor signal-to-noise ratios or pathological signals and wrong placement of ECG electrodes, the QRS complex may be missed or falsely detected and may lead to poor results in calculating heart beat in turn inter-beat intervals. We have studied the effects of number of common elements of QRS detection methods using MIT/BIH arrhythmia database and devised a simple and effective method. In this method, first the ECG signal is preprocessed using band-pass filter; later the Hilbert Transform is applied on filtered ECG signal to enhance the presence of QRS complexes, to detect R-Peaks by setting a threshold and finally the RR-intervals are calculated to determine Heart Rate. We have implemented our method using MATLAB on ECG signal which is obtained from MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. Our MATLAB implementation results in the detection of QRS complexes in ECG signal, locate the R-Peaks, computes Heart Rate (HR) by calculating RR-internal and plotting of HR signal to show the information about HRV.

Identification of Myocardial Infarction from Multi-Lead ECG signalIJERA Editor
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the cheap and noninvasive method of depicting the heart activity and abnormalities.
It provides information about the functionality of the heart. It is the record of variation of bioelectric potential
with respect to time as the human heart beats. The classification of ECG signals is an important application since
the early detection of heart diseases/abnormalities can prolong life and enhance the quality of living through
appropriate treatment. Since the ECG signals, while recording are contaminated by several noises it is necessary
to preprocess the signals prior to classification. Digital filters are used to remove noise from the signal. Principal
component analysis is applied on the 12 lead signal to extract various features. The present paper shows the
unique feature, point score calculated on the basis of the features extracted from the ECG signal. The point
score calculation is tested for 40 myocardial infarction ECG signals and 25 Normal ECG signals from the PTB
Diagnostic database with 94% sensitivity.

An Electrocardiograph based Arrythmia Detection SystemDr. Amarjeet Singh
Cardiac disorders turn out to be a serious disease if
not diagnosed and treated at the earliest. Arrhythmia is a
cardiac disorder that exists as a result of irregular heart beat
conditions. There are several variants in this type of disorder
which can be only diagnosed only when patient is under an
intensive care conditions and also the patient with such
disorder do not experience and physical symptoms. Such
diseases turn out to be deadly if not treated early. A detection
system is thus required which is capable of detecting these
arrhythmias in real time and aid in the diagnosis. An FPGA
based arrhythmia detection system is designed and
implemented here which can detect second degree AV block
type of arrhythmia. The designed system was simulated and
tested with ECG signal from MIT-BH database and the
results revealed that a robust arrhythmia detection system
was implemented.
CLASSIFICATION OF ECG ARRHYTHMIAS USING /DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM AND NEURA...IJCSEA Journal
Automatic recognition of cardiac arrhythmias is important for diagnosis of cardiac abnormalies. Several algorithms have been proposed to classify ECG arrhythmias; however, they cannot perform very well. Therefore, in this paper, an expert system for ElectroCardioGram (ECG) arrhythmia classification is proposed. Discrete wavelet transform is used for processing ECG recordings, and extracting some features, and the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network performs the classification task. Two types of arrhythmias can be detected by the proposed system. Some recordings of the MIT-BIH arrhythmias database have been used for training and testing our neural network based classifier. The simulation results show that the classification accuracy of our algorithm is 96.5% using 10 files including normal and two arrhythmias.

CLASSIFICATION OF ECG ARRHYTHMIAS USING /DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM AND NEURA...IJCSEA Journal
Automatic recognition of cardiac arrhythmias is important for diagnosis of cardiac abnormalies. Several algorithms have been proposed to classify ECG arrhythmias; however, they cannot perform very well. Therefore, in this paper, an expert system for ElectroCardioGram (ECG) arrhythmia classification is proposed. Discrete wavelet transform is used for processing ECG recordings, and extracting some features, and the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network performs the classification task. Two types of arrhythmias can be detected by the proposed system. Some recordings of the MIT-BIH arrhythmias database have been used for training and testing our neural network based classifier. The simulation results show that the classification accuracy of our algorithm is 96.5% using 10 files including normal and two arrhythmias.
Less computational approach to detect QRS complexes in ECG rhythmsCSITiaesprime
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are normally affected by artifacts that require manual assessment or use of other reference signals. Currently, Cardiographs are used to achieve basic necessary heart rate monitoring in real conditions. This work aims to study and identify main ECG features, QRS complexes, as one of the steps of a comprehensive ECG signal analysis. The proposed algorithm suggested an automatic recognition of QRS complexes in ECG rhythm. This method is designed based on several filter structure composes low pass, difference and summation filters. The filtered signal is fed to an adaptive threshold function to detect QRS complexes. The algorithm was validated and results were checked with experimental data based on sensitivity test.
St variability assessment based on complexity factor using independent compon...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In recent days the computerized ECG has become the most effective and convenient diagnostic tool to identify cardiac diseases
such as Myocardial Ischemia (MI). Among the Cardio vascular diseases (CVDs) the Myocardial Ischemia (MI) is one of the
leading causes of heart attacks. The Myocardial Ischemia (MI) occurs due to the difficulties in the flow of the electrical impulses
from SA node to bundle branches because of the abnormalities in the conduction system. Normally the ECG is used as a main
diagnostic tool to identify the cardiac diseases. In order to obtain accurate information from ECG it is necessary to remove all the
artifacts and extract the pure ECG from noise background. In this paper the removal of the artifacts is achieved with linear
filtering and the extraction of the clean ECG signal is performed using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). After
preprocessing and ECG extraction, the QRS complex of each beat is detected by using Hilbert Transform and simple threshold
detection algorithm. Next the Instantaneous Heart Rate (IHR) from RR interval and Complexity Factor (CF) from time series ST
segment are computed for each beat to form desired feature sets. Later a linear regression model is designed using Instantaneous
heart rate (IHR) and ST segment Complexity Factors (STCFs) based on Linear Regression analysis. The proposed ICA-STCFR
model is used to identify the ischemic beats from the test feature sets of ECG signal to assess the ST-Segment Variability (STV).
The ECG data sets obtained from a local hospital were used to design and test the model. The evaluation parameters, Ischemic
Intensity Factor (IIF), Ischemic Activity Factors (IAF) and Peak to Average Value (PAV) were used to evaluate the proposed
method and compared with Wavelet Transform based method. The proposed ICA-STCFR was found to be yielding better results
than WT-ST method.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) flag is the electrical action of the human heart. The ECG contains imperative data about the general execution of the human heart framework. In this way, exact examination of the ECG flag is extremely critical however difficult undertaking. ECG flag is regularly low adequacy and polluted with various kinds of commotions due to its estimation procedure e.g. control line obstruction, amplifier clamor and standard meander. Benchmark meander is a sort of organic commotion caused by the arbitrary development of patient amid ECG estimation and misshapes the ST fragment of the ECG waveform. In this paper, we present a far reaching near investigation of five generally utilized versatile filtering calculations for the evacuation of low recurrence clamor. We perform broad investigations on the Physionet MIT BIH ECG database and contrast the flag with commotion proportion (SNR), combination rate, and time many-sided quality of these calculations. It is discovered that modified LMS has better execution than others regarding SNR and assembly rate.

Analysis of Human Electrocardiogram for Biometric Recognition Using Analytic ...CSCJournals
The electrocardiograph (ECG) contains cardiac features unique to each individual. By analyzing ECG, it should therefore be possible not only to detect the rate and consistency of heartbeats but to also extract other signal features in order to identify ECG records belonging to individual subjects. In this paper, a new approach for automatic analysis of single lead ECG for human recognition is proposed and evaluated. Eighteen temporal, amplitude, width and autoregressive (AR) model parameters are extracted from each ECG beat and classified in order to identify each individual. Proposed system uses pre-processing stage to decrease the effects of noise and other unwanted artifacts usually present in raw ECG data. Following pre-processing steps, ECG stream is partitioned into separate windows where each window includes single beat of ECG signal. Window estimation is based on the localization of the R peaks in the ECG stream that detected by Filter bank method for QRS complex detection. ECG features – temporal, amplitude and AR coefficients are then extracted and used as an input to K-nn and SVM classification algorithms in order to identify the individual subjects and beats. Signal pre-processing techniques, applied feature extraction methods and some intermediate and final classification results are presented in this paper.

Detection of Real Time QRS Complex Using Wavelet Transform IJECEIAES
This paper presents a novel method for QRS detection. To accomplish this task ECG signal was first filtered by using a third order Savitzky Golay filter. The filtered ECG signal was then preprocessed by a Wavelet based denoising in a real-time fashion to minimize the undefined noise level. R-peak was then detected from denoised signal after wavelet denoising. Windowing mechanism was also applied for finding any missing R-peaks. All the 48 records have been used to test the proposed method. During this testing, 99.97% sensitivity and 99.99% positive predictivity is obtained for QRS complex detection.
