Designing an Optimum and Reduced Order Filter for Efficient ECG QRS Peak Detection and Classification of Arrhythmia

Abstract:
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used biological signals that show an important role in cardiac analysis. The interpretation and acquisition of QRS complex are significant measures of ECG data dispensation. The R wave has a vital character in the analysis of cardiac rhythm irregularities as well as in the determination of heart rate variability (HRV). This manuscript is proposed to design a new artificial-intelligence-based approach of QRS peak detection and classification of the ECG data. The design of reduced order IIR filter is proposed for the low pass smoothening of the ECG signal data. The min-max optimization is used for optimizing the filter coefficient to design the reduced order filter. In this research paper, elimination of baseline wondering and the power line interferences from the ECG signal is of main attention. The result presented that the accuracy is increased by around 13% over the basic Pan-Tompkins method and around 8% over the existing FIR-filter-based classification rules.

ECG Interpretation of Rhythms
Components of the Electrocardiogram
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....

Types of Arrhythmias
Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
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.
Parts of an ECG
An ECG utilizes electrodes on the skin...
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...
