Classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals plays an important role in diagnoses of heart diseases. An accurate ECG classification is a challenging problem. This paper presents a survey of ECG classification into arrhythmia types. Early and accurate detection of arrhythmia types is important in detecting heart diseases and choosing appropriate treatment for a patient. Different classifiers are available for ECG classification. Amongst all classifiers, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become very popular and most widely used for ECG classification. This paper discusses the issues involved in ECG classification and presents a detailed survey of preprocessing techniques, ECG databases, feature extraction techniques, ANN based classifiers, and performance measures to address the mentioned issues. Furthermore, for each surveyed paper, our paper also presents detailed analysis of input beat selection and output of the classifiers.

When using the available m-health systems, ECG data for a small duration is recorded and sent to a server for processing and arrhythmia detection. Since arrhythmia occurrence is not so frequent in early stages, a need is felt to develop a real time and continuous arrhythmia monitoring system on the phone itself. This paper provides a novel approach to detect QRS complexes from a high fidelity ECG data obtained from B.E.A.T. hardware for arrhythmia monitoring in real time. Our approach referred to as m-QRS uses continuous wavelet transform at its kernel and its efficiency is compared to that of pan-tompkins's which is a standard QRS detection algorithm widely used for arrhythmia detection. It was found that our algorithm uses lesser computation time when compared to pan-tompkins and was found to be mobile friendly. This provides an opportunity to develop further algorithms to perform continuous and real-time arrhythmia monitoring on affordable smartphones without internet dependability.

The computer-aided interpretation of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals provides a non-invasive and inexpensive technique for analyzing heart activity under various cardiac conditions. Further, the proliferation of smartphones and wireless networks makes it possible to perform continuous Holter monitoring. However, although considerable attention has been paid to automated detection and classification of heartbeats from ECG data, classifier learning strategies have never been used to deal with individual variations in cardiac activity. In this paper, we propose a novel method for automatic classification of an individual's ECG beats for Holter monitoring. We use the pan-tompkins algorithm to accurately extract features such as the QRS complex and P wave, and employ a decision tree to classify each beat in terms of these features. Evaluations conducted against the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database before and after personalization of the decision tree using a patient's own ECG data yield heartbeat classification accuracies of 94.6% and 99%, respectively. These are comparable to results obtained from state-of-the-art schemes, validating the efficacy of our proposed method. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Automatic interpretation of electrocardiography provides a non-invasive and inexpensive technique to analyze the heart activity for different cardiac conditions. The emergence of smartphones and wireless networks has made it possible to perform continuous Holter monitoring on patients or potential patients. Recently, much attention has been paid to the development of the monitoring methodologies of heart activity, which include both the detection of heartbeats in electrocardiography and the classification of types of heartbeats. However, many studies have focused on classifying limited types of heartbeats. We propose a system for classification into 17 types of heartbeats. This system consists of two parts, the detection and classification of heartbeats. The system detects heartbeats through repetitive features and classifies them using a k-nearest neighbor algorithm. Features such as the QRS complex and P wave were accurately extracted using the pan-tompkins algorithm. For the classifier, the distance metric is an adaptation of locally weighted regression. The system was validated with the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The system achieved a sensitivity of 97.22% and a specificity of 97.4% for heartbeat detection. The system also achieved a sensitivity of 97.1% and a specificity of 96.9% for classification.

This paper describes a study on combined algorithms used for classification of QRS Complex in ECG signals. The proposed algorithm/detector uses Hillbert transform on a Wavelet base for the pre-processing stage. Both Hillbert transform and Wavelet base known to be superior in reducing unwanted noise resembles in ECG signal such as baseline wander and muscle noise. In addition, the pan-tompkins algorithm was employed as the QRS peak detection. A testing against MIT-BIH Arrhythmias Database results in a reliable detection error rate (DER) of 98.7%. It can be concluded that, the proposed method offers significant noise reduction in pre-processing stage and still produce a reliable results even with the contaminated ECG signal.

QRS complex and specifically R-Peak detection is the crucial first step in every automatic electrocardiogram analysis. Much work has been carried out in this field, using various methods ranging from filtering and threshold methods, through wavelet methods, to neural networks and others.. Performance is generally good, but each method has situations where it fails. In this paper, we suggest an approach to automatically combine different QRS complex detection algorithms, here the pan-tompkins and wavelet algorithms, to benefit from the strengths of both methods. In particular, we introduce parameters allowing to balance the contribution of the individual algorithms;these parameters are estimated in a data-driven way. Experimental results and analysis are provided on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) Arrhythmia Database. We show that our combination approach outperforms both individual algorithms.
