ECG Signal Analysis for Abnormality Detection in Heart Beat

Automatic recognition of cardiac arrhythmias is important for diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities. Detection of various abnormalities in the heart to identify various heart diseases can be made through an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) preprocessed by subtractive clustering. Some recordings of the MIT-BIH database has been used for training and testing our neural network based classifier. Six types of heartbeats are classified: normal sinus rhythm, premature ventricular contraction (PVC), atrial premature contraction (APC), left bundle branch block (LBBB), right bundle branch block (RBBB), and paced beats. Our goal is to detect important characteristics of an ECG signal to determine if the heartbeat is normal or irregular. Therefore, in this paper, an expert system for Electrocardiogram (ECG) classification is analyzed. DWT is used in preprocessing for filtering ECG recordings, and extraction of some features performs the classification task.
