This study introduces an efficient electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis method for classifying six heartbeats using wavelet transforms and RR-intervals. The technique achieves high accuracy and noise robustness, simplifying practical ECG analyzer implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Accurate electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is crucial for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
  • Existing methods for heartbeat classification can be complex and sensitive to noise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust and computationally efficient technique for classifying six types of heartbeats from ECG signals.
  • To reduce system complexity and improve noise resilience in ECG analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Feature extraction from the ECG's QRS complex using wavelet transform and instantaneous RR-interval.
  • Classification using a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier with 11 extracted features.
  • Application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for feature reduction.
