Arrhythmia Detection - A Machine Learning based Comparative Analysis with MIT-BIH ECG Data
Abstract
Cardiovascular arrhythmias are most common cardiac problem in the world. This work while focusing on development of automated detection and classification of arrhythmia using MIT-BIH database compared five machine learning algorithms with three different features. Pre-processing followed by beat detection is applied on one channel to get individual beats having PQRST window. Three features (viz. simple amplitude feature of 300 samples, area feature with non-overlapped sliding window, and area feature with overlapped sliding window) were used for five classifiers used in this study. It was observed that Artificial Neural Network with amplitude features gave best result with 99.59% accuracy which is comparable to state-of-the art methods.

The MIT-BIH arrhythmia database classifies ECG signals into five categories: normal, supraventricular ectopic beat, ventricular ectopic beat, unknown beat, and fusion beat.
“we adopted the ECG dataset from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, which classifies the ECG signals into five categories47: normal (N), supraventricular ectopic beat (S), ventricular ectopic beat (V), unknown beat (Q), and fusion beat (F).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
