Detection of supraventricular and ventricular ectopic beats using a single lead ECG
Abstract:
Two simple algorithms for supraventricular (SVEB) and ventricular ectopic beat (VEB) detection using the electrocardiogram (ECG) are presented. Both algorithms use time-domain features and a linear classifier. The first algorithm requires QRS detection only and the second algorithm requires P, QRS and T wave segmentation. Data was obtained from the 44 non-pacemaker recordings of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and contained approximately 100,000 beats. Performance assessment of the best system resulted in an accuracy of 94.4% when discriminating SVEB from non-SVEBs and 97.8% in discriminating VEB from non-VEBs.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
