This study introduces a novel hidden Markov model (HMM) for real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, improving beat detection and classification. The HMM approach offers high accuracy for ECG segmentation and patient adaptation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is crucial for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
  • Accurate beat segmentation and classification are essential for reliable ECG interpretation.
  • Existing methods may lack robustness in handling diverse ECG signals and patient variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an original hidden Markov model (HMM) for online beat segmentation and classification of ECGs.
  • To model ECG waveforms, perform multichannel beat segmentation, and enable unsupervised patient adaptation.
  • To assess the performance of the proposed HMM approach on a standard ECG database.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a novel hidden Markov model (HMM) framework for ECG signal processing.
