The Given

An important diagnostic method for diagnosing abnormalities in the human heart is the electrocardiogram (ECG). A large number of heart patients increase the assignment of physicians. To reduce their assignment, an automatic computer detection system is needed. In this study, a computer system for classifying ECG signals is presented. The MIT-BIH, ECG arrhythmia database is used for analysis. After the ECG signal is noisy in the preprocessing stage, the data feature is extracted. In the feature extraction step, the decision tree is used and the support vector machine (SVM) is constructed to classify the ECG signal into two categories. It is normal or abnormal. The results show that the system classifies the given ECG signal with 90% sensitivity.

Today, cardiovascular disease has become an epidemic. Statistics show that one person dies every 33 seconds due to cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that 33% of men and 10% of women have a heart attack before the age of 60. Arrhythmias are abnormal beats that cause the heart to beat too fast or too slow to pump. Automatic electrocardiogram analysis is critical to the diagnosis and treatment of heart patients. There are several learning methods for analyzing ECG signals to diagnose arrhythmias. In the proposed method, the heart rate signals are decomposed into different sub bands using the Tunable Q-Factor Wavelet Transform (TQWT) method, then the features are extracted and modified using classification with the aim of better classifying and separating data in the process of identifying the clinical features of the class. They are classified so that normal people and people with cardiac arrhythmias can be distinguished from their ECG signals. The results showed that the proposed method classifies the ECG signal with 99.25% accuracy. Since accuracy in diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias in medicine is a vital and important factor, so the proposed method can be very effective for the decision of cardiologists.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal exhibits important distinctive feature for different cardiac issues. Automatic classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal can be used for primary detection of various heart conditions. Information about heart and ischemic changes of heart may be obtained from cleaned ECG signals. ECG signal has an important role in monitoring and diacritic of the heart patients. An accurate ECG classification is challenging problem. The accuracy often depends on proper selection of observing parameters as well as detection algorithms. Heart disorder means abnormal rhythm or abnormalities present in the heart. In this research work, we have developed a decision tree based algorithm to classify heart problems by utilizing the statistical signal characteristic (SSC) of an ECG signal. The proposed model has been tested with real ECG signal to successfully (60-98%) detect normal, apnea and ventricular tachyarrhythmia condition.

Heart and Eye are two vital organs in the human system. By knowing the Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electro-oculogram (EOG), one will be able to tell the stability of the heart and eye respectively. In this project, we have developed a circuit to pick the ECG and EOG signal using two wet electrodes. Here no reference electrode is used. EOG and ECG signals have been acquired from ten healthy subjects. The ECG signal is obtained from two positions, namely wrist and arm position respectively. The picked-up biomedical signal is recorded and heart rate information is extracted from ECG signal using the biomedical workbench. The result found to be promising and acquired stable EOG and ECG signal from the subjects. The total gain required for the arm position is higher than the wrist position for the ECG signal. The total gain necessary for the EOG signal is higher than the ECG signal since the ECG signal is in the range of millivolts whereas EOG signal in the range of microvolts. This two-electrode system is stable, cost-effective and portable while still maintaining high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR).

A prototype of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquisition system with multiple unipolar capacitively coupled electrodes is designed and experimentally tested. Capacitively coupled electrodes made of a standard printed circuit board (PCB) are used as the sensing electrodes. Different from the conventional measurement schematics, where one single lead ECG signal is acquired from a pair of sensing electrodes, the sensing electrodes in our approaches operate in a unipolar mode, i.e., the biopotential signals picked up by each sensing electrodes are amplified and sampled separately. Four unipolar electrodes are mounted on the backrest of a regular chair and therefore four channel of signals containing ECG information are sampled and processed. It is found that the qualities of ECG signal contained in the four channel are different from each other. In order to pick up the ECG signal, an index for quality evaluation, as well as for aggregation of multiple signals, is proposed based on phase space reconstruction. Experimental tests are carried out while subjects sitting on the chair and clothed. The results indicate that the ECG signals can be reliably obtained in such a unipolar way.

As more and more people in the UK are being affected by cardiovascular conditions, it is increasingly necessary for practice nurses to keep up-to-date with the latest developments. Dave Richley explains common ECG readings that may be seen in primary care Cardiac arrhythmias may be asymptomatic or they may be responsible for a range of symptoms including palpitations, dizziness, chest pain and loss of consciousness. Accurate diagnosis, and therefore appropriate management, depends on careful interpretation of an electrocardiogram (ECG) recording of the arrhythmia, and this is often achievable in primary care. This article presents the arrhythmias most commonly encountered in primary care, as well as those seen rarely, and describes and illustrates their defining features. It will also discuss some of the pitfalls that can lead to erroneous diagnosis. While some arrhythmias can be managed appropriately in primary care, guidance is provided in regarding referral or admission to hospital for arrhythmias that may warrant further investigation or specialist care.

Abstract This research provides a comparative study of intelligent systems in structural damage assessment after the occurrence of an earthquake. Seismic response data of a reinforced concrete structure subjected to 100 different levels of seismic excitation are utilized to study the structural damage pattern described by a well-known damage index, the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MISDR). Through a time-frequency analysis of the accelerograms, a set of seismic features is extracted. The aim of this study is to analyze the performance of three different techniques for the set of the proposed seismic features: an artificial neural network (ANN), a Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system (FIS), and a Sugeno-type FIS. The performance of the models is evaluated in terms of the mean square error (MSE) between the actual calculated and estimated MISDR values derived from the proposed models. All models provide small MSE values. Yet, the ANN model reveals a slightly better performance.

The main purpose of this study is to present a novel personal authentication approach with the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The electrocardiogram is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart and the recorded signals can be used for individual verification because ECG signals of one person are never the same as those of others. The discrete wavelet transform was applied for extracting features that are the wavelet coefficients derived from digitized signals sampled from one-lead ECG signal. By the proposed approach applied on 35 normal subjects and 10 arrhythmia patients, the verification rate was 100% for normal subjects and 81% for arrhythmia patients. Furthermore, the performance of the ECG verification system was evaluated by the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The FAR was 0.83% and FRR was 0.86% for a database containing only 35 normal subjects. When 10 arrhythmia patients were added into the database, FAR was 12.50% and FRR was 5.11%. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach worked well for normal subjects. For this reason, it can be concluded that ECG used as a biometric measure for personal identity verification is feasible.
