Insights
This study introduces an automated framework for detecting heart disease using electrocardiogram (ECG) data and nonlinear analysis. The developed model achieves high accuracy, improving early diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Cardiology
- Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
Background:

Objectives:
Cardiac disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. If a proper diagnosis is made early, cardiovascular problems can be prevented. The ECG test is a diagnostic method used on the screen for heart disease. Based on a combination of multi-field extraction and nonlinear analysis of ECG data, this paper presents a framework for automated detection of heart disease. The main aim of this study is to develop a model for future diagnosis of cardiac vascular disease using ECG analysis and symptom-based detection.
Methods:
Discrete wavelet transform and Nonlinear Vector Decomposed Neural Network methods are used to predict Cardiac disease. Here is the discrete wavelet transform used for preprocessing to remove unwanted noise or artifacts. The neural network was fed with thirteen clinical features as input which was then trained using a non-linear vector decomposition of the presence or absence of heart disease.
Results:
The modules were implemented, trained, and tested using UCI and Physio net data repositories. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this research work are 92.0%, 89.33% and 90.67% CONCLUSIONS: The proposed approach can discover complex non-linear correlations between dependent and independent variables without requiring traditional statistical training. The suggested approach improves ECG classification accuracy, allowing for more accurate cardiac disease diagnosis. The accuracy of ECG categorization in identifying cardiac illness is far greater than these other approaches.

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...

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.

The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage....
