This paper presents a method to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, extract the fea-tures, for the classification of heart beats according to different arrhythmias. Data were obtained from 40 records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (only one lead). Cardiac arrhythmias which are found are Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Incomplete Bundle Branch Block, Bundle Branch Block, Ventricular Tachycardia. A learning dataset for the neural network was obtained from a twenty records set which were manually classified using MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database Directory and docu- mentation, taking advantage of the professional experience of a cardiologist. Fast Fourier transforms are used to identify the peaks in the ECG signal and then Neural Networks are applied to identify the diseases. Levenberg Marquardt Back-Propagation algorithm is used to train the network. The results obtained have better efficiency then the previously proposed methods.展开更多

Unbalance of these ions can alter the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Changes in the morphology of the ECG signal can occur due to changes in potassium concentration, and shortening or extension of this signal can occur due to calcium excess or deficiency, respectively. The diagnosis of these disorders can be complicated, making the modeling of such a system complex. In the present work an artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed as a model for pattern recognition of the ECG signal. The procedure can be, in principle, used to identify changes in the morphology of the ECG signal due to alterations in calcium and potassium concentrations. An arrhythmia database of a widely used experimental data was considered to simulate different ECG signals and also for training and validation of the methodology. The proposed approach can recognize premature ventricular contractions (PVC) arrhythmias, and tests were performed in a group of 47 individuals, showing significant quantitative results, on average, with 94% of confidence. The model was also able to detect ions changes and showed qualitative indications of what ion is affecting the ECG. These results indicate that the method can be efficiently applied to detect arrhythmias as well as to identify ions that may contribute to the development of cardiac arrhythmias. Accordingly, the actual approach might be used as an alternative tool for complex studies involving modifications in the morphology of the ECG signal associated with ionic changes.展开更多

The availability of signal processing and neural networks techniques for processing ECG signals has inspired us to do research that consists of extracting features of an ECG signals to identify types of cardiovascular diseases. We distinguish between normal and abnormal ECG data using signal processing and neural networks toolboxes in Matlab. Data, which are downloaded from an ECG database, Physiobank, are used for training and testing the neural network. To distinguish normal and abnormal ECG with the significant accuracy, pattern recognition tools with NN is used. Feature Extraction method is also used to identify specific heart diseases. The diseases that were identified include Tachycardia, Bradycardia, first-degree Atrioventricular (AV), and second-degree Atrioventricular. Since ECG signals are very noisy, signal processing techniques are applied to remove the noise contamination. The heart rate of each signal is calculated by finding the distance between R-R intervals of the signal. The QRS complex is also used to detect Atrioventricular blocks. The algorithm successfully distinguished between normal and abnormal data as well as identifying the type of disease.展开更多
