Arrhythmia electrocardiogram signal contains a specific unusual heartbeat with abnormal morphology. Because unusual heartbeat is useful for diagnosis and classification of various diseases, such as arrhythmia, detection of unusual heartbeat from the arrhythmic ECG signal is very important. Amplitude and kurtosis at R-peak point and RR interval are characteristics of ECG signal on R-wave. In this paper, we provide a method for detecting unusual heartbeat based on these. Through the value of the attribute deviates more from the average value if unusual heartbeat is more certainly, the proposed method detects unusual heartbeat in order using the mean and standard deviation. From 15 ECG signals of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database which has R-wave distortion, we compare the result of conventional method which uses the fixed threshold value and the result of proposed method. Throughout the experiment, the sensitivity is significantly increased to 97% from 50% using the proposed method.

Arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart has an irregular rhythm or abnormal heart rate, early diagnosis and management is very important because it can cause stroke, cardiac arrest, or even death. In this paper, we propose arrhythmia classification using hybrid combination model of CNN-BLSTM. For this purpose, the QRS features are detected from noise removed signal through pre-processing and a single bit segment was extracted. In this case, the GAN oversampling technique is applied to solve the data imbalance problem. It consisted of CNN layers to extract the patterns of the arrhythmia precisely, used them as the input of the BLSTM. The weights were learned through deep learning and the learning model was evaluated by the validation data. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, classification accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were compared by using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate 99.30%, 98.70%, 97.50%, 98.06% in terms of the accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, respectively.

Because the ECG signals are time-series data acquired as time elapses, it is important to obtain comparative data the same in size as the enrolled data every time. This paper suggests a network model of GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) based on an auxiliary classifier to generate synthetic ECG signals which may address the different data size issues. The Cosine similarity and Cross-correlation are used to examine the similarity of synthetic ECG signals. The analysis shows that the Average Cosine similarity was 0.991 and the Average Euclidean distance similarity based on cross-correlation was 0.25: such results indicate that data size difference issue can be resolved while the generated synthetic ECG signals, similar to real ECG signals, can create synthetic data even when the registered data are not the same as the comparative data in size.

A Multilinear LDA Method of Tensor Representation for ECG Signal Based Individual Identification Electrocardiogram signals, included in the cardiac electrical activity, are often analyzed and used for various purposes such as heart rate measurement, heartbeat rhythm test, heart abnormality diagnosis, emotion recognition and biometrics. The objective of this paper is to perform individual identification operation based on Multilinear Linear Discriminant Analysis (MLDA) with the tensor feature. The MLDA can solve dimensional aspects of classification problems in high-dimensional tensor, and correlated subspaces can be used to distinguish between different classes. In order to evaluate the performance, we used MPhysionet's MIT-BIH database. The experimental results on this database showed that the individual identification by MLDA outperformed that by PCA and LDA.

This paper presents an approach to detect premature ventricular contractions(PVC) using the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM). NEWFM classifies normal and PVC beats by the trained weighted fuzzy membership functions using wavelet transformed coefficients extracted from the MIT-BIH PVC database. The two most important coefficients are selected by the non-overlap area distribution measurement method to minimize the classification rules that show PVC classification rate of 99.90%. By Presenting locations of the extracted two coefficients based on the R wave location, it is shown that PVC can be detected using only information of the two portions.

일반적으로 심전도는 심장계통의 질환을 판단할 때 사용된다. 이러한 심장질환의 이상 유무를 자동으로 진단하기 위해서는 QRS파형 검출을 필요로 하며, 이를 위하여 웨이블렛변환 방법이나 템플릿매칭, 룰 베이스 방법 등 여러 가지 방법들이 쓰이고 있으나, 심전도 신호가 표준화된 형태를 갖지 않는 경우는 검출 능력에 많은 한계를 갖고 있다. 본 논문은 파형의 베이스라인(baseline)을 기준으로 진폭 값에 절대치을 취하는 방법으로 파형의 R피크값을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 결과를 검증하기 위해 MIT-BIH 데이타베이스에서 제공하는 데이터와 R피크값을 본 논문의 알고리즘으로 추출된 R피크값과 비교한 결과 96.7%의 검출률을 보였다.

This paper presents an approach to detect premature ventricular contraction(PVC) using discrete wavelet transform and fuzzy neural network. As the input of the algorithm, we use 14 coefficients of d3, d4, and d5, which are transformed by a discrete wavelet transform(DWT). This paper uses a neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM) to diagnose PVC. The NEWFM discussed in this paper classifies a normal beat and a PVC beat. The size of the window of DWT is $-31/360{\sim}+32/360$ second(64 samples) whose center is the R wave. Using the seven records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database used in Shyu's paper, the classification performance of the proposed algorithm is 99.91%, which outperforms the 97.04% of Shyu's analysis. Using the forty records of the M1T-BIH arrhythmia database used in Inan's paper, the classification performance of the proposed algorithm is 98.01%, which outperforms 96.85% of Inan's one. The SE and SP of the proposed algorithm are 84.67% and 99.39%, which outperforms the 82.57% and 98.33%, respectively, of Inan's study.

Long-term electrocardiogram data can be acquired by linking a Holter monitor to a mobile phone. However, most systems are designed to detect arrhythmia through heartbeat classification, and not just for supporting clinical decisions. In this paper, we propose an Abstracting algorithm, and introduce an analogous pateint search system using this algorithm. An analogous patient searcher summarizes each patient's typical pattern using the results of heartbeat, which can greatly simplify clinical activity. It helps to find patients with similar arrhythmia patterns, which can help in contributing to diagnostic clues. We have simulated these processes on data from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. As a result, the Abstracting algorithm provided a typical pattern to assist in reaching rapid clinical decisions for 64% of the patients. On an average, typical patterns and results generated by the abstracting algorithm summarized the results of heartbeat classification by 98.01%.
