Abstract

Abnormal electrical activity of the human heart indicates cardiac dysfunction. The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the non-invasive diagnostic techniques to detect cardiac abnormalities. Irregularity and non-stationarity in the ECG signal impose difficulties to clinicians for accurate diagnosis of heart diseases only by visual inspection. Automatic recognition of abnormal ECG beats aids in early detection of heart diseases. This paper explores the ECG single beat analysis to identify the cardiac abnormality. In this work, seven classes of arrhythmia are considered as recommended by AAMI(Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standard. Beat feature database is generated from 44 recordings of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database to support the arrhythmia classification. Classification is implemented with Multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) for non-linearly separable data effectively. Classification accuracy up to 93% is achieved for the selected input feature sets. This work assesses the suitability of the ECG input features for multi-class classification of arrhythmia.
