Abstract
- Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the P-QRS-T wave, representing the cardiac function. The information concealed in the ECG signal is useful in detecting the disease afflicting the heart. It is very difficult to identify the subtle changes in the ECG in time and frequency domains. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) can provide good time and frequency resolutions and is able to decipher the hidden complexities in the ECG. In this study, five types of beat classes of arrhythmia as recommended by Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) were analyzed namely: non-ectopic beats, supra-ventricular ectopic beats, ventricular ectopic beats, fusion betas and unclassifiable and paced beats. Three dimensionality reduction algorithms; Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) were independently applied on DWT sub bands for dimensionality reduction. These dimensionality reduced features were fed to the Support Vector Machine (SVM), neural network (NN) and probabilistic neural network (PNN) classifiers for automated diagnosis. ICA features in combination with PNN with spread value (σ) of 0.03 performed better than the PCA and LDA. It has yielded an average sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy of 99.97%, 99.83%, 99.21% and 99.28% respectively using ten-fold cross validation scheme.
