Abstract

In general, QRS duration represent a distance of Q start and S end point. However, since criteria of QRS duration are vague and Q, S point is not detected accurately, arrhythmia classification performance can be reduced. In this paper, we propose extraction of Q, S start and end point RS feature based on phase transition tracking method after we detected R wave that is large peak of electrocardiogram(ECG) signal. For this purpose, we detected R wave, from noise-free ECG signal through the preprocessing method. Also, we classified QRS pattern through differentiation value of ECG signal and extracted Q, S start and end point by tracking direction and count of phase based on R wave. The performance of R wave detection is evaluated by using 48 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average detection rate of 99.60%. PVC classification is evaluated by using 9 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database that included over 30 premature ventricular contraction(PVC). The achieved scores indicate the average detection rate of 94.12% in PVC.

일반적으로 QRS간격은 시작점을 기준으로 끝점까지의 간격을 말하지만 그 기준이 모호하고 Q와 S의 검출이 정확하지 않아 부정맥 분류 성능을 저하시키는 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 심전도신호 중 가장 큰 피크인 R파를 정확히 검출한 후 이를 기준으로 위상 변이 추적 기법을 적용하여 Q와 S의 시작점과 끝점을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 전처리 과정을 통해 잡음이 제거된 정확한 R파를 검출한다. 이후 심전도신호의 미분값을 통해 QRS패턴을 분류하고, R파를 기준으로 위상이 변화되는 방향과 횟수를 추적함으로써 Q, S의 시작점과 끝점을 추출하는 방법이다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스 48개의 레코드를 대상으로 R파 검출율은 99.60%의 성능을 나타내었고, 위상 변이 추적 기법의 경우 조기심실수축(PVC)이 30개 이상 포함된 MIT-BIH 10개의 레코드를 대상으로 조기심실수축 분류율을 각각 비교 분석한 결과 94.12%로 우수하게 나타났다.
