In this paper, we are discussing about a heart disease called Arrhythmia and how it can be identified using the Electrocardiogram. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphical form for electrical activity of cardiac muscle. A healthy human heart beats, 72 times per minute under normal conditions. For every heartbeat the cardiac muscle undergoes specific electrical activity which identifies the pattern in the ECG signal. It consists of PQRST wave which represents heart functions. The patterns of the ECG signal change due to the abnormalities in the heartbeat. The abnormality in the ECG is called Arrhythmia.

Structure And Functions

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a kind of process of recording the electrical activity/signals of the heart with respect to the time. ECG conveys a wide amount of information related to the structure and functions of the heart, its electrical conduction processes. ECG is a diagnostic tool that the doctors and medical professionals use to measure patients' heart activity by paying attention to the electric current flowing in the heart. Due to the presence of noises, it needs to carry out the filtration process. Filtration is the process of keeping the components of the signals of desired frequencies by setting up an “fc” value and removing the components apart from the said “fc” frequency. It is required to eliminate the noise level from the ECG signal, such that the resultant ECG signal must be free from noises. All these techniques and algorithms have their advantages and limitations which are discussed in this chapter.

<p class="Abstract"><em><span>Good mental health is important in our daily life. A person commonly finds stress as a barrier to enhance an individual’s performance. Be reminded that not all people have the same level of stress because different people have dissimilar problems in their life. In addition, different level of age and gender will affect unequal amount of stress. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is an electrical indicator of the heart that can detect changes of human response which relates to our emotions and reactions. Thus, this research proposed a non-intrusive detector to identify stress level for both gender and different classification of age using the ECG. A total of 30 healthy subjects were involved during the data acquisition stage. Data acquisition which initialize ECG data were divided into two conditions; which are normal and stress states. ECG data for normal state only need the participant to breath in and out normally. In other hand, the participants also need to undergo Stroop Colour word test as a stress inducer to represent ECG in stress state. Then, Sgolay filter was selected in the pre-processing stage to remove artifacts in the signal. The process was followed by feature extraction of the ECG signal and finally classified using RR Interval (RRI), different amplitudes of R peaks and Cardioid graph were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed technique. As a result, Class 5 (age range between 50-59 years old) marks the highest changes of stress level rather than other classes, while women are more affected by stress rather than men by showing tremendous percentage changes between normal and stress level over the proposed classifiers. The result proves that ECG signals can be used as an alternative mechanism to recognize stress more efficiently with the integration of gender and age variabilities.</span></em></p>

Electrocardiogram (ECG) examination via computer techniques that involve feature extraction, pre-processing and post-processing was implemented due to its significant advantages. Extracting ECG signal standard features that requires high processing operation level was the main focusing point for many studies. In this paper, up to 6 different ECG signal classes are accurately predicted in the absence of ECG feature extraction. The corner stone of the proposed technique in this paper is the Linear predictive coding (LPC) technique that regress and normalize the signal during the pre-processing phase. Prior to the feature extraction using Wavelet energy (WE), a direct Wavelet transform (DWT) is implemented that converted ECG signal to frequency domain. In addition, the dataset was divided into two parts , one for training and the other for testing purposes Which have been classified in this proposed algorithm using support vector machine (SVM). Moreover, using MIT AI2 Companion was developed by MIT Center for Mobile Learning, the classification result was shared to the patient mobile phone that can call the ambulance and send the location in case of serious emergency. Finally, the confusion matrix values are used to measure the proposed classification performance. For 6 different ECG classes, an accuracy ration of about 98.15% was recorded. This ratio became 100% for 3 ECG signal classes and decreases to 97.95% by increasing ECG signal to 7 classes.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used biological signals that show an important role in cardiac analysis. The interpretation and acquisition of QRS complex are significant measures of ECG data dispensation. The R wave has a vital character in the analysis of cardiac rhythm irregularities as well as in the determination of heart rate variability (HRV). This manuscript is proposed to design a new artificial-intelligence-based approach of QRS peak detection and classification of the ECG data. The design of reduced order IIR filter is proposed for the low pass smoothening of the ECG signal data. The min-max optimization is used for optimizing the filter coefficient to design the reduced order filter. In this research paper, elimination of baseline wondering and the power line interferences from the ECG signal is of main attention. The result presented that the accuracy is increased by around 13% over the basic Pan–Tompkins method and around 8% over the existing FIR-filter-based classification rules.

Measurement Results

Electrocardiograph (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that can record the electrical activity of the human heart. By analyzing the resulting waveforms of the recorded electrical activity of the heart, it is possible to record and diagnose disease. Given the importance of the ECG recording device, it is necessary to check the function of the ECG recording device, namely by performing a device calibration procedure using the Phantom ECG which aims to simulate the ECG signal. The purpose of this research is to check the ECG device during repairs, besides that the Electrocardiograph (EKG) tool functions for research purposes on ECG signals or for educational purposes. Electrocardiograph (EKG) simulator or often called Phantom ECG is in principle a signal generator in the form of an ECG like signal or a recorded ECG signal. This device can be realized based on microcontroller and analog circuit. The advantage of this simulator research is that the ECG signal displayed is the original ECG recording and has an adequate ECG signal database. ECG This simulator also has the advantage of providing convenience for research on digital signal processing applications for ECG signal processing. In its application this simulator can be used as a tool to study various forms of  ECG signals. Based on the measurement results, the error value at BPM 30 and 60 is 0.00% at the sensitivity of 0.5mV, 1.0mV, and 2.0mV, then the measurement results for the error value at BPM 120 are 0.33% and at the BPM 180 value, the error value is 0.22%. From these results, it can be concluded that the highest error value is at BPM 120 with sensitivities of 0.5mV, 1.0mV, and 2.0mV.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important tool used by clinicians for successful diagnosis and detection of Arrhythmias, like Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Atrial Flutter (AFL). In this manuscript, an efficient technique of classifying atrial arrhythmias from Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) has been presented. Autoregressive Modelling has been used to capture the features of the ECG signal, which are then fed as inputs to the neural network for classification. The standard database available at Physionet Bank repository has been used for training, validation and testing of the model. Exhaustive experimental study has been carried out by extracting ECG samples of duration of 5 seconds, 10 seconds and 20 seconds. It provides an accuracy of 99% and 94.3% on training and test set respectively for 5 sec recordings. In 10 sec and 20 sec samples it shows 100% accuracy. Thus, the proposed method can be used to detect the arrhythmias in a small duration recordings with a fairly high accuracy.

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.
