Abstract
The clinical manifestations of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) bear resemblance to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The definitive diagnosis of DCM necessitates the identification of invasive, costly, and contraindicated coronary angiography. Many diagnostic studies of cardiovascular disease have tried modal decomposition based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. However, these studies ignored the connection between modes and other fields, thus limiting the interpretability of modes to ECG signals and the classification performance of models. This study proposes a classification algorithm based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and high order spectra, which decomposes the preprocessed ECG signal and extracts its first five modes obtained through VMD. After that, these modes are estimated for their corresponding bispectrums, and the feature vector is composed of fifteen features including bispectral, frequency, and nonlinear features based on this. Finally, a dataset containing 75 subjects (38 DCM, 37 ICM) is classified and compared using random forest (RF), decision tree, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbor. The results show that, in comparison to previous approaches, the technique proposed provides a better categorization for DCM and ICM of ECG signals, which delivers 98.21% classification accuracy, 98.22% sensitivity, and 98.19% specificity. And mode 3 always has the best performance among single mode. The proposed computerized framework significantly improves automatic diagnostic performance, which can help relieve the working pressure on doctors, possible economic burden and health threaten.

J Imaging 2023; 9:190. [PMID: 37754954 PMCID: PMC10532022 DOI: 10.3390/jimaging9090190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
To safely select the proper therapy for ventricular fibrillation (VF), it is essential to distinguish it correctly from ventricular tachycardia (VT) and other rhythms. Provided that the required therapy is not the same, an erroneous detection might lead to serious injuries to the patient or even cause ventricular fibrillation (VF). The primary innovation of this study lies in employing a CNN to create new features. These features exhibit the capacity and precision to detect and classify cardiac arrhythmias, including VF and VT. The electrocardiographic (ECG) signals utilized for this assessment were sourced from the established MIT-BIH and AHA databases. The input data to be classified are time-frequency (tf) representation images, specifically, Pseudo Wigner-Ville (PWV). Previous to Pseudo Wigner-Ville (PWV) calculation, preprocessing for denoising, signal alignment, and segmentation is necessary. In order to check the validity of the method independently of the classifier, four different CNNs are used: InceptionV3, MobilNet, VGGNet and AlexNet. The classification results reveal the following values: for VF detection, there is a sensitivity (Sens) of 98.16%, a specificity (Spe) of 99.07%, and an accuracy (Acc) of 98.91%; for ventricular tachycardia (VT), the sensitivity is 90.45%, the specificity is 99.73%, and the accuracy is 99.09%; for normal sinus rhythms, sensitivity stands at 99.34%, specificity is 98.35%, and accuracy is 98.89%; finally, for other rhythms, the sensitivity is 96.98%, the specificity is 99.68%, and the accuracy is 99.11%. Furthermore, distinguishing between shockable (VF/VT) and non-shockable rhythms yielded a sensitivity of 99.23%, a specificity of 99.74%, and an accuracy of 99.61%. The results show that using tf representations as a form of image, combined in this case with a CNN classifier, raises the classification performance above the results in previous works. Considering that these results were achieved without the preselection of ECG episodes, it can be concluded that these features may be successfully introduced in Automated External Defibrillation (AED) and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillation (ICD) therapies, also opening the door to their use in other ECG rhythm detection applications.

Abstract
Photoplethysmography (PPG) based healthcare devices have gained enormous interest in the detection of cardiac abnormalities. Limited research has been implemented for myocardial infarction (MI) detection. Moreover, PPG-based detection of angina is still a research gap. PPG signals are not always informative. Therefore, this research work presents the use of PPG signals and their second derivative to evaluate myocardial infarction and angina using a novel set of morphological features. The obtained morphological features are fed onto the feed-forward artificial neural network for the identification of the type of MI and unstable angina (UA). The initial experiments have been carried out on non-ambulatory (public) subjects for feature extraction and later evaluated on ambulatory (self-generated) databases. The intended method attains accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 98%, 97%, 98% on the public database and 94%, 94%, 94% on the self-generated database. The result shows that the proposed set of features can detect MI and UA with significant accuracy.

High accuracy distinction of shockable and non-shockable arrhythmias in abnormal classes through wavelet transform with pseudo differential like operators. Sci Rep 2023; 13:9513.

Abstract
Arrhythmia is an abnormal rhythm of the heart which leads to sudden death. Among these arrhythmias, some are shockable, and some are non-shockable arrhythmias with external defibrillation. The automated external defibrillator (AED) is used as the automated arrhythmia diagnosis system and requires an accurate and rapid decision to increase the survival rate. Therefore, a precise and quick decision by the AED has become essential in improving the survival rate. This paper presents an arrhythmia diagnosis system for the AED by engineering methods and generalized function theories. In the arrhythmia diagnosis system, the proposed wavelet transform with pseudo-differential like operators-based method effectively generates a distinguishable scalogram for the shockable and non-shockable arrhythmia in the abnormal class signals, which leads to the decision algorithm getting the best distinction. Then, a new quality parameter is introduced to get more details by quantizing the statistical features on the scalogram. Finally, design a simple AED shock and non-shock advice method by following this information to improve the precision and rapid decision. Here, an adequate topology (metric function) is adopted to the space of the scatter plot, where we can give different scales to select the best area of the scatter plot for the test sample. As a consequence, the proposed decision method gives the highest accuracy and rapid decision between shockable and non-shockable arrhythmias. The proposed arrhythmia diagnosis system increases the accuracy to 97.98%, with a gain of 11.75% compared to the conventional approach in the abnormal class signals. Therefore, the proposed method contributes an additional 11.75% possibility for increasing the survival rate. The proposed arrhythmia diagnosis system is general and could be applied to distinguish different arrhythmia-based applications. Also, each contribution could be used independently in various applications.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) consisting of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia considered as shockable rhythms is a life-threatening heart disease, which is treated efficiently by the automated external defibrillator (AED). This work proposes a novel design of the SAA, which includes a k-nearest neighbors model and a subset of 8 features extracted from the ECG segments, for the SCA diagnosis on the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. These features are addressed as the most productive subset among 31 input features based on the evaluation of the feature correlation. The recursive feature elimination algorithm combined with the Boosting model and wise-patient fivefold cross-validation method is adopted for the calculation of the average feature importance, which shows the degree of feature correlation, to construct various input feature subsets. Moreover, component feature combinations known as the representatives of the input feature subsets with an enormous level of correlation and independence are transformed from the input subsets by the principal component analysis method. The wise-patient fivefold cross-validation procedure is used for the evaluation of these component feature combinations on the validation set. The proposed SAA is certainly efficient for SCA detection with a small number of the extracted feature and relatively high diagnosis performance such as accuracy of 99.52%, sensitivity of 97.69%, and specificity of 99.91%.

Abstract
A rapid and accurate detection of ventricular arrhythmias is essential to take appropriate therapeutic actions when cardiac arrhythmias occur. Furthermore, the accurate discrimination between arrhythmias is also important, provided that the required shocking therapy would not be the same. In this work, the main novelty is the use of the mathematical method known as Topological Data Analysis (TDA) to generate new types of features which can contribute to the improvement of the detection and classification performance of cardiac arrhythmias such as Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). The electrocardiographic (ECG) signals used for this evaluation were obtained from the standard MIT-BIH and AHA databases. Two input data to the classify are evaluated: TDA features, and Persistence Diagram Image (PDI). Using the reduced TDA-obtained features, a high average accuracy near 99% was observed when discriminating four types of rhythms (98.68% to VF; 99.05% to VT; 98.76% to normal sinus; and 99.09% to Other rhythms) with specificity values higher than 97.16% in all cases. In addition, a higher accuracy of 99.51% was obtained when discriminating between shockable (VT/VF) and non-shockable rhythms (99.03% sensitivity and 99.67% specificity). These results show that the use of TDA-derived geometric features, combined in this case this the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier, raises the classification performance above results in previous works. Considering that these results have been achieved without preselection of ECG episodes, it can be concluded that these features may be successfully introduced in Automated External Defibrillation (AED) and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillation (ICD) therapies.

Abstract
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used to treat life-threatening arrhythmias. AEDs and ICDs use shock advice algorithms to classify ECG tracings as shockable or non-shockable rhythms in clinical practice. Machine learning algorithms have recently been assessed for shock decision classification with increasing accuracy. Outside of rhythm classification alone, they have been evaluated in diagnosis of causes of cardiac arrest, prediction of success of defibrillation and rhythm classification without the need to interrupt cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This review explores the many applications of machine learning in AEDs and ICDs. While these technologies are exciting areas of research, there remain limitations to their widespread use including high processing power, cost and the ‘black-box’ phenomenon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prediction and classification of Ventricular Arrhythmias (VA) may allow clinicians sufficient time to intervene for stopping its escalation to Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). This paper proposes a novel method for predicting VA and classifying its type, in particular, the fatal VA even before the event occurs. METHODS A statistical index J based on the combination of phase-space reconstruction (PSR) and box counting has been used to predict VA. The fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering technique is applied for the classification of impending VA. RESULTS 32 healthy and 32 arrhythmic subjects from two open databases - PTB Diagnostic database (PTBDB) and CU Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia (CUDB) database respectively; were used to validate our proposed method. Our method showed average prediction time of approximately 5 min (4.97 min) for impending VA in the tested dataset while classifying four types of VA (VA without ventricular premature beats (VPBs), ventricular fibrillation (VF), ventricular tachycardia (VT), and VT followed by VF) with an average 4 min (approximately) before the VA onset, i.e., after 1 min of the prediction time point with average accuracy of 98.4%, a sensitivity of 97.5% and specificity of 99.1%. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained can be used in clinical practice after rigorous clinical trial to advance technologies such as implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that can help to preempt the occurrence of fatal ventricular arrhythmia - a main cause of SCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MAs) occur unpredictably and lead to emergencies. A new approach that uses a timely tracking device e.g., photoplethysmogram (PPG) solely to predict MAs would be irreplaceably valuable and it is natural to expect the approach can predict the occurrence as early as possible. METHOD We assumed that with an appropriate metric based on signal complexity, the heartbeat interval time series (HbIs) can be used to manifest the intrinsic characteristics of the period immediately precedes the MAs (preMAs). The approach first characterizes the patterns of preMAs by a new complexity metric (the refined composite multi-scale entropy). The MAs detector is then constructed by checking the discriminability of the MAs against the sinus rhythm and other prevalent arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation and premature ventricular contraction) of three machine-learning models (SVM, Random Forest, and XGboost). RESULTS Two specifications are of interest: the length of the HbIs needed to delineate the preMAs patterns sufficiently (lspec) and how long before the occurrence of MAs will the HbIs manifest specific patterns that are distinct enough to predict the impending MAs (tspec). Our experimental results confirmed the best performance came from a Random-Forest model with an average precision of 99.99% and recall of 88.98% using a HbIs of 800 heartbeats (the lspec), 108 seconds (the tspec) before the occurrence of MAs. CONCLUSION By experimental validation of the unique pattern of the preMAs in HbIs and using it in the machine learning model, we showed the high possibility of MAs prediction in a broader circumstance, which may cover daily healthcare using the alternative sensor in HbIs monitoring. Therefore, this research is theoretically and practically significant in cardiac arrest prevention.

Abstract
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a type of fatal arrhythmia that can cause sudden death within minutes. The study of a VF detection algorithm has important clinical significance. This study aimed to develop an algorithm for the automatic detection of VF based on the acquisition of cardiac mechanical activity-related signals, namely ballistocardiography (BCG), by non-contact sensors. BCG signals, including VF, sinus rhythm, and motion artifacts, were collected through electric defibrillation experiments in pigs. Through autocorrelation and S transform, the time-frequency graph with obvious information of cardiac rhythmic activity was obtained, and a feature set of 13 elements was constructed for each 7 s segment after statistical analysis and hierarchical clustering. Then, the random forest classifier was used to classify VF and non-VF, and two paradigms of intra-patient and inter-patient were used to evaluate the performance. The results showed that the sensitivity and specificity were 0.965 and 0.958 under 10-fold cross-validation, and they were 0.947 and 0.946 under leave-one-subject-out cross-validation. In conclusion, the proposed algorithm combining feature extraction and machine learning can effectively detect VF in BCG, laying a foundation for the development of long-term self-cardiac monitoring at home and a VF real-time detection and alarm system.

Abstract
This study aims to present an efficient model for autodetection of cardiac arrhythmia by the diagnosis of self-affinity and identification of governing processes of a number of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals taken from MIT-BIH database. In this work, the proposed model includes statistical methods to find the diagnosis pattern for detecting cardiac abnormalities which is useful for the computer aided system for arrhythmia detection. First, the Rescale Range (R/S) analysis has been employed for ECG signals to understand the scaling property of ECG signals. The value of Hurst exponent identifies the presence of abnormality in ECG signals taken for consideration with 92.58% accuracy. In this study, Higuchi method which deals with unifractality or monofractality of signals has been applied and it is found that unifractality is sufficient to detect arrhythmia with 91.61% accuracy. The Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) has been used over the present signals to identify and confirm the multifractality. The nature of multifractality is different for arrhythmia patients and normal heart condition. The multifractal analysis is useful to detect abnormalities with 93.75% accuracy. Finally, the autocorrelation analysis has been used to identify the prevalent governing process in the present arrhythmic ECG signals and study confirms that all the signals are governed by stationary autoregressive methods of certain orders. In order to increase the overall efficiency, this present model deals with analyzing all the statistical features extracted from different statistical techniques for a large number of ECG signals of normal and abnormal heart condition. Finally, the result of present analysis altogether possibly indicates that the proposed model is efficient to detect cardiac arrhythmia with 99.3% accuracy.

Deep Layer Kernel Sparse Representation Network for the Detection of Heart Valve Ailments from the Time-Frequency Representation of PCG Recordings. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:8843963. [PMID: 33415163 PMCID: PMC7769642 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8843963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The heart valve ailments (HVAs) are due to the defects in the valves of the heart and if untreated may cause heart failure, clots, and even sudden cardiac death. Automated early detection of HVAs is necessary in the hospitals for proper diagnosis of pathological cases, to provide timely treatment, and to reduce the mortality rate. The heart valve abnormalities will alter the heart sound and murmurs which can be faithfully captured by phonocardiogram (PCG) recordings. In this paper, a time-frequency based deep layer kernel sparse representation network (DLKSRN) is proposed for the detection of various HVAs using PCG signals. Spline kernel-based Chirplet transform (SCT) is used to evaluate the time-frequency representation of PCG recording, and the features like L1-norm (LN), sample entropy (SEN), and permutation entropy (PEN) are extracted from the different frequency components of the time-frequency representation of PCG recording. The DLKSRN formulated using the hidden layers of extreme learning machine- (ELM-) autoencoders and kernel sparse representation (KSR) is used for the classification of PCG recordings as normal, and pathology cases such as mitral valve prolapse (MVP), mitral regurgitation (MR), aortic stenosis (AS), and mitral stenosis (MS). The proposed approach has been evaluated using PCG recordings from both public and private databases, and the results demonstrated that an average sensitivity of 100%, 97.51%, 99.00%, 98.72%, and 99.13% are obtained for normal, MVP, MR, AS, and MS cases using the hold-out cross-validation (CV) method. The proposed approach is applicable for the Internet of Things- (IoT-) driven smart healthcare system for the accurate detection of HVAs.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) signals are reported to be associated with the personalized drug
response in many diseases such as major depressive disorder, epilepsy, chronic pain, hypertension, etc.
But the relationships between HRV signals and the personalized drug response in different diseases and
patients are complex and remain unclear. With the fast development of modern smart sensor technologies
and the popularization of big data paradigm, more and more data on the HRV and drug response
will be available, it then provides great opportunities to build models for predicting the association of
the HRV with personalized drug response precisely. We here review the present status of the HRV data
resources and models for predicting and evaluating of personalized drug responses in different diseases.
The future perspectives on the integration of knowledge and personalized data at different levels such as,
genomics, physiological signals, etc. for the application of HRV signals to the precision prediction of
drug therapy and their response will be provided.

Abstract
Deep neural networks (DNN) are state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms that can be learned to self-extract significant features of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and can generally provide high-output diagnostic accuracy if subjected to robust training and optimization on large datasets at high computational cost. So far, limited research and optimization of DNNs in shock advisory systems is found on large ECG arrhythmia databases from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). The objective of this study is to optimize the hyperparameters (HPs) of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for detection of shockable (Sh) and nonshockable (NSh) rhythms, and to validate the best HP settings for short and long analysis durations (2-10 s). Large numbers of (Sh + NSh) ECG samples were used for training (720 + 3170) and validation (739 + 5921) from Holters and defibrillators in OHCA. An end-to-end deep CNN architecture was implemented with one-lead raw ECG input layer (5 s, 125 Hz, 2.5 uV/LSB), configurable number of 5 to 23 hidden layers and output layer with diagnostic probability p ∈ [0: Sh,1: NSh]. The hidden layers contain N convolutional blocks × 3 layers (Conv1D (filters = Fi, kernel size = Ki), max-pooling (pool size = 2), dropout (rate = 0.3)), one global max-pooling and one dense layer. Random search optimization of HPs = {N, Fi, Ki}, i = 1, … N in a large grid of N = [1, 2, … 7], Fi = [5;50], Ki = [5;100] was performed. During training, the model with maximal balanced accuracy BAC = (Sensitivity + Specificity)/2 over 400 epochs was stored. The optimization principle is based on finding the common HPs space of a few top-ranked models and prediction of a robust HP setting by their median value. The optimal models for 1-7 CNN layers were trained with different learning rates LR = [10-5; 10-2] and the best model was finally validated on 2-10 s analysis durations. A number of 4216 random search models were trained. The optimal models with more than three convolutional layers did not exhibit substantial differences in performance BAC = (99.31-99.5%). Among them, the best model was found with {N = 5, Fi = {20, 15, 15, 10, 5}, Ki = {10, 10, 10, 10, 10}, 7521 trainable parameters} with maximal validation performance for 5-s analysis (BAC = 99.5%, Se = 99.6%, Sp = 99.4%) and tolerable drop in performance (<2% points) for very short 2-s analysis (BAC = 98.2%, Se = 97.6%, Sp = 98.7%). DNN application in future-generation shock advisory systems can improve the detection performance of Sh and NSh rhythms and can considerably shorten the analysis duration complying with resuscitation guidelines for minimal hands-off pauses.

Automated sleep apnea detection from cardio-pulmonary signal using bivariate fast and adaptive EMD coupled with cross time-frequency analysis. Comput Biol Med 2020; 120:103769. [PMID: 32421659 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2020.103769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2020] [Revised: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Sleep apnea is a sleep related pathology in which breathing or respiratory activity of an individual is obstructed, resulting in variations in the cardio-pulmonary (CP) activity. The monitoring of both cardiac (heart rate (HR)) and pulmonary (respiration rate (RR)) activities are important for the automated detection of this ailment. In this paper, we propose a novel automated approach for sleep apnea detection using the bivariate CP signal. The bivariate CP signal is formulated using both HR and RR signals extracted from the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The approach consists of three stages. First, the bivariate CP signal is decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and residuals for both HR and RR channels using bivariate fast and adaptive empirical mode decomposition (FAEMD). Second, the features are extracted using time-domain analysis, spectral analysis, and time-frequency domain analysis of IMFs from CP signal. The time-frequency domain features are computed from the cross time-frequency matrices of IMFs of CP signal. The cross time-frequency matrix of each IMF is evaluated using the Stockwell (S)-transform. Third, the support vector machine (SVM) and the random forest (RF) classifiers are used for automated detection of sleep apnea with the features from the bivariate CP signal. Our proposed approach has demonstrated an average sensitivity and specificity of 82.27% and 78.67%, respectively for sleep apnea detection using the 10-fold cross-validation method. The approach has yielded an average sensitivity and specificity of 73.19% and 73.13%, respectively for the subject-specific cross-validation. The performance of the approach was compared with other CPC features used for the detection of sleep apnea.

Early Detection of Sudden Cardiac Death by Using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition-Based Entropy and Classical Linear Features From Heart Rate Variability Signals. Front Physiol 2020; 11:118.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac death (SCD), which can deprive a person of life within minutes, is a destructive heart abnormality. Thus, providing early warning information for patients at risk of SCD, especially those outside hospitals, is essential. In this study, we investigated the performances of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD)-based entropy features on SCD identification. EEMD-based entropy features were obtained by using the following technology: (1) EEMD was performed on HRV beats to decompose them into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), (2) five entropy parameters, namely Rényi entropy (RenEn), fuzzy entropy (FuEn), dispersion Entropy (DisEn), improved multiscale permutation entropy (IMPE), and Renyi distribution entropy(RdisEn), were computed from the first four IMFs obtained, which were named EEMD-based entropy features. Additionally, an automated scheme combining EEMD-based entropy and classical linear (time and frequency domains) features was proposed with the intention of detecting SCD early by analyzing 14 min (at seven successive intervals of 2 min) heart rate variability (HRV) in signals from a normal population and subjects at risk of SCD. Firstly, EEMD-based entropy and classical linear measurements were extracted from HRV beats, and then the integrated measurements were ranked by various methodologies, i.e., t-test, entropy, receiver-operating characteristics (ROC), Wilcoxon, and Bhattacharyya. Finally, these ranked features were fed into a k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm for classification. Compared with several state-of-the-art methods, the proposed scheme firstly predicted subjects at risk of SCD up to 14 min earlier with an accuracy of 96.1%, a sensitivity of 97.5%, and a specificity of 94.4% 14 min before SCD onset. The simulation results exhibited that EEMD-based entropy estimators showed significant difference between SCD patients and normal individuals and outperformed the classical linear estimators in SCD detection, the EEMD-based FuEn and IMPE indexes were particularly useful assessments for identification of patients at risk of SCD and can be used as novel indices to reveal the disorders of rhythm variations of the autonomic nervous system when affected by SCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Ambulatory based healthcare system use limited electrodes for electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition at concerned electrode position, to minimize the instrumentation and computational complexity. But, again the possibility of contamination is inevitable depending on the electrode position on the scalp. This paper proposes an electrocardiogram (ECG) artifact correction algorithm in the absence of coherent ECG for automatic analysis/diagnosis of the acquired contaminated single channel EEG signal. METHODS The proposed algorithm uses an enhanced and modified version of signal decomposition i.e. modified variational mode decomposition (mVMD) to obtain band limited intrinsic mode functions (BLIMFs) from EEG epoch. The mVMD is found to be useful when the signal contains properties that are correlated. Further, exploiting the correlation among the obtained mode functions the ECG artifact components are identified. An ECG reference is estimated and QRS complexes are suppressed. The effective EEG reconstruction is performed by simply adding the remaining BLIMFs to QRS complex suppressed estimated reference. This is owing to the robust reconstruction feature provided by mVMD. RESULTS Upon the comparative evaluation for both real and semi-simulated dataset, the proposed algorithm is providing less distortion to the EEG brain activity frequency bands, and is also less computationally intensive than the existing Ensembled empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) based algorithm that requires ECG reference channel. Evaluation of semi-simulated dataset obtained an average correlation of 97% between EEG signals before contamination and after correction of ECG artifact. CONCLUSION The proposed algorithm efficiently corrects the ECG artifact from EEG while overcoming the limitations such as, (1) requirement of a reference ECG channel, (2) requirement of R-R interval or amplitude thresholding for QRS complex identification.

Abstract
Malignant arrhythmia can lead to sudden cardiac death (SCD). Shockable arrhythmia can be terminated with device electrical shock therapies. Ventricular-tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are responsive to electrical anti-tachycardia pacing therapy and defibrillation which help to restore normal electrical and mechanical function of the heart. In contrast, non-shockable arrhythmia like asystole and bradycardia are not responsive to electric shock therapy. Distinguishing between shockable and non-shockable arrhythmia is an important diagnostic challenge that has practical clinical relevance. It is difficult to accurately differentiate between these two types of arrhythmia by manual inspection of electrocardiogram (ECG) segments within the short time duration before triggering the device for electrical therapy. Automated defibrillators are equipped with automatic shockable arrhythmia detection algorithms based on ECG morphological features, which may possess variable diagnostic performance depending on machine models. In our work, we have designed a robust system using wavelet decomposition filter banks for extraction of features from the ECG signal and then classifying the features. We believe this method will improve the accuracy of discriminating between shockable and non-shockable arrhythmia compared with existing conventional algorithms. We used a novel three channel orthogonal wavelet filter bank, which extracted features from ECG epochs of duration 2 s to distinguish between shockable and non-shockable arrhythmia. The fuzzy, Renyi and sample entropies are extracted from the various wavelet coefficients and fed to support vector machine (SVM) classifier for automated classification. We have obtained an accuracy of 98.9%, sensitivity and specificity of 99.08% and 97.11.9%, respectively, using 10-fold cross validation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic has been found to be 0.99 with F1-score of 0.994. The system developed is more accurate than the existing algorithms. Hence, the proposed system can be employed in automated defibrillators inside and outside hospitals for emergency revival of patients suffering from SCD. These automated defibrillators can also be implanted inside the human body for automatic detection of potentially fatal shockable arrhythmia and to deliver an appropriate electric shock to the heart.

Abstract
The frequency characteristics of the resting-state BOLD fMRI (rs-fMRI) signal are of increasing scientific interest, as we discover more frequency-specific biological interpretations. In this work, we use variational mode decomposition (VMD) to precisely decompose the rs-fMRI time series into its intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in a data-driven manner. The accuracy of the VMD decomposition of constituent IMFs is verified through simulations, with higher reconstruction accuracy and much-reduced mode mixing relative to previous methods. Furthermore, we examine the relative contribution of the VMD-derived modes (frequencies) to the rs-fMRI signal as well as functional connectivity measurements. Our primary findings are: (1) The rs-fMRI signal within the 0.01–0.25 Hz range can be consistently characterized by four intrinsic frequency clusters, centered at 0.028 Hz (IMF4), 0.080 Hz (IMF3), 0.15 Hz (IMF2) and 0.22 Hz (IMF1); (2) these frequency clusters were highly reproducible, and independent of rs-fMRI data sampling rate; (3) not all frequencies were associated with equivalent network topology, in contrast to previous findings. In fact, while IMF4 is most likely associated with physiological fluctuations due to respiration and pulse, IMF3 is most likely associated with metabolic processes, and IMF2 with vasomotor activity. Both IMF3 and IMF4 could produce the brain-network topology typically observed in fMRI, whereas IMF1 and IMF2 could not. These findings provide initial evidence of feasibility in decomposing the rs-fMRI signal into its intrinsic oscillatory frequencies in a reproducible manner.

Abstract
Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are life-threatening pathophysiological conditions that seriously impact the normal functioning of the heart. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the two well known types of VA. VF is the lethal of the VAs and could be characterized by its organizational progression over time. The success of cardiac resuscitation strongly depends on the type of VA, its evolution over time and response to therapy. Due to the time critical nature of VF, computationally efficient quantification of VAs and swift feedback are essential. This work attempted to arrive at computationally efficient and data-driven techniques based on Empirical Mode Decomposition for classifying and tracking VAs over time. The approaches are divided into two aims: (1) 'in-hospital' scenarios for characterizing the dynamics of VA episodes to assist clinicians in planning long-term therapy options, and (2) 'out-of-hospital' scenarios for providing near real-time feedback to detect/track the progression of VAs over time to assist medical personnel select/modify therapy options. Using an ECG database of 61 60-s VA segments obtained for classifying VT vs. VF and sub-classifying VF into organized VF (OVF) and disorganized VF (DVF), maximum classification accuracies of 96.7% (AUC = 0.993) and 87.2% (AUC = 0.968) were obtained for classifying VT vs. VF and OVF vs. DVF during 'in-hospital' analysis. Additionally, two near real-time approaches were presented for 'out-of-hospital' analysis where average accuracies of 71% and 73% were achieved for VT/VF and OVF/DVF classification, as well as demonstrating strong potential for monitoring VA progressions over time.

Abstract
The advent of portable cardiac monitoring devices has enabled real-time analysis of cardiac signals. These devices can be used to develop algorithms for real-time detection of dangerous heart rhythms such as ventricular arrhythmias. This paper presents a Markov model based algorithm for real-time detection of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular flutter, and ventricular fibrillation episodes. The algorithm does not rely on any noise removal pre-processing or peak annotation of the original signal. When evaluated using ECG signals from three publicly available databases, the model resulted in an AUC of 0.96 and F1-score of 0.91 for 5-second long signals and an AUC of 0.97 and F1-score of 0.93 for 2-second long signals.

Abstract
Early defibrillation by an automated external defibrillator (AED) is key for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. ECG feature extraction and machine learning have been successfully used to detect ventricular fibrillation (VF) in AED shock decision algorithms. Recently, deep learning architectures based on 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been proposed for this task. This study introduces a deep learning architecture based on 1D-CNN layers and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for the detection of VF. Two datasets were used, one from public repositories of Holter recordings captured at the onset of the arrhythmia, and a second from OHCA patients obtained minutes after the onset of the arrest. Data was partitioned patient-wise into training (80%) to design the classifiers, and test (20%) to report the results. The proposed architecture was compared to 1D-CNN only deep learners, and to a classical approach based on VF-detection features and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The algorithms were evaluated in terms of balanced accuracy (BAC), the unweighted mean of the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp). The BAC, Se, and Sp of the architecture for 4-s ECG segments was 99.3%, 99.7%, and 98.9% for the public data, and 98.0%, 99.2%, and 96.7% for OHCA data. The proposed architecture outperformed all other classifiers by at least 0.3-points in BAC in the public data, and by 2.2-points in the OHCA data. The architecture met the 95% Sp and 90% Se requirements of the American Heart Association in both datasets for segment lengths as short as 3-s. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the most accurate VF detection algorithm to date, especially on OHCA data, and it would enable an accurate shock no shock diagnosis in a very short time.

Abstract
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias that require treatment in an emergency. Detection of VT and VF at an early stage is crucial for achieving the success of the defibrillation treatment. Hence an automatic system using computer-aided diagnosis tool is helpful in detecting the ventricular arrhythmias in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. In this paper, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was used to denoise and decompose the ECG signals into different consecutive frequency bands to reduce noise. The methodology was tested using ECG data from standard CU ventricular tachyarrhythmia database (CUDB) and MIT-BIH malignant ventricular ectopy database (VFDB) datasets of PhysioNet databases. A set of time-frequency features consists of temporal, spectral, and statistical were extracted and ranked by the correlation attribute evaluation with ranker search method in order to improve the accuracy of detection. The ranked features were classified for VT and VF conditions using support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree (C4.5) classifier. The proposed DWT based features yielded the average sensitivity of 98%, specificity of 99.32%, and accuracy of 99.23% using a decision tree (C4.5) classifier. These results were better than the SVM classifier having an average accuracy of 92.43%. The obtained results prove that using DWT based time-frequency features with decision tree (C4.5) classifier can be one of the best choices for clinicians for precise detection of ventricular arrhythmias.

Abstract
Due the fact that the required therapy to treat Ventricular Fibrillation (V F) is aggressive (electric shock), the lack of a proper detection and recovering therapy could cause serious injuries to the patient or trigger a ventricular fibrillation, or even death. This work describes the development of an automatic diagnostic system for the detection of the occurrence of V F in real time by means of the time-frequency representation (T F R) image of the ECG. The main novelties are the use of the T F R image as input for a classification process, as well as the use of combined classifiers. The feature extraction stage is eliminated and, together with the use of specialized binary classifiers, this method improves the results of the classification. To verify the validity of the method, four different classifiers in different combinations are used: Regression Logistic with L2 Regularization (L 2 R L R), adaptive neural network (A N N C), Bagging (B A G G), and K-nearest neighbor (K N N). The Hierarchical Method (HM) and Voting Majority Method (VMM) combinations are used. ECG signals used for evaluation were obtained from the standard MIT-BIH and AHA databases. When the classifiers were combined, it was observed that the combination of B A G G , K N N , and A N N C using the Hierarchical Method (HM) gave the best results, with a sensitivity of 95.58 ± 0.41%, a 99.31 ± 0.08% specificity, a 98.6 ± 0.04% of overall accuracy, and a precision of 98.25 ± 0.29% for V F . Whereas a sensitivity of 94.02 ± 0.58%, a specificity of 99.31 ± 0.08%, an overall accuracy of 99.14 ± 0.43%, and a precision of 98.59 ± 0.09% was obtained for V T with a run time between 0.07 s and 0.12 s. Results show that the use of T F R image data to feed the combined classifiers yields a reduction in execution time with performance values above to those obtained by individual classifiers. This is of special utility for V F detection in real time.

Abstract
We developed an automated approach to differentiate between different types of arrhythmic episodes in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, because, in real-life scenarios, a software application does not know in advance the type of arrhythmia a patient experiences. Our approach has four main stages: (1) Classification of ventricular fibrillation (VF) versus non-VF segments—including atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular tachycardia (VT), normal sinus rhythm (NSR), and sinus arrhythmias, such as bigeminy, trigeminy, quadrigeminy, couplet, triplet—using four image-based phase plot features, one frequency domain feature, and the Shannon entropy index. (2) Classification of AF versus non-AF segments. (3) Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) detection on every non-AF segment, using a time domain feature, a frequency domain feature, and two features that characterize the nonlinearity of the data. (4) Determination of the PVC patterns, if present, to categorize distinct types of sinus arrhythmias and NSR. We used the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) arrhythmia database, Creighton University’s VT arrhythmia database, the MIT-BIH atrial fibrillation database, and the MIT-BIH malignant ventricular arrhythmia database to test our algorithm. Binary decision tree (BDT) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers were used in both stage 1 and stage 3. We also compared our proposed algorithm’s performance to other published algorithms. Our VF detection algorithm was accurate, as in balanced datasets (and unbalanced, in parentheses) it provided an accuracy of 95.1% (97.1%), sensitivity of 94.5% (91.1%), and specificity of 94.2% (98.2%). The AF detection was accurate, as the sensitivity and specificity in balanced datasets (and unbalanced, in parentheses) were found to be 97.8% (98.6%) and 97.21% (97.1%), respectively. Our PVC detection algorithm was also robust, as the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were found to be 99% (98.1%), 98.0% (96.2%), and 98.4% (99.4%), respectively, for balanced and (unbalanced) datasets.

Abstract
Accurate detection and classification of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia episodes such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) and rapid ventricular tachycardia (VT) from electrocardiogram (ECG) is a challenging problem for patient monitoring and defibrillation therapy. This paper introduces a novel method for detection and classification of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia episodes. The ECG signal is decomposed into various oscillatory modes using digital Taylor-Fourier transform (DTFT). The magnitude feature and a novel phase feature namely the phase difference (PD) are evaluated from the mode Taylor-Fourier coefficients of ECG signal. The least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) classifier with linear and radial basis function (RBF) kernels is employed for detection and classification of VT vs. VF, non-shock vs. shock and VF vs. non-VF arrhythmia episodes. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values obtained using the proposed method are 89.81, 86.38, and 93.97%, respectively for the classification of Non-VF and VF episodes. Comparison with the performance of the state-of-the-art features demonstrate the advantages of the proposition.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common atrial arrhythmia occurring in clinical practice and can be diagnosed using electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The conventional diagnostic features of ECG signal are not enough to quantify the pathological variations during AF. Therefore, an automated detection of AF pathology using the new diagnostic features of ECG signal is required. This paper proposes a novel method for the detection of AF using ECG signals. In this work, we are using a novel nonlinear method namely, the two-stage variational mode decomposition (VMD) to analyze ECG and deep belief network (DBN) for automated AF detection. First, the ECG signals of both normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and AF classes are decomposed into different modes using VMD. The first mode of VMD is decomposed in the second stage as this mode captures the atrial activity (AA) information during AF. The remaining modes of ECG captures the ventricular activity information. The sample entropy (SE) and the VMD estimated center frequency features are extracted from the sub-modes of AA mode and ventricular activity modes. These extracted features coupled with DBN classifier is able to classify normal and AF ECG signals with an accuracy, sensitivity and specificity values of 98.27%, 97.77% and 98.67%, respectively. We have developed an atrial fibrillation diagnosis index (AFDI) using selected SE and center frequency features to detect AF with a single number. The system is ready to be tested on huge database and can be used in main hospitals to detect AF ECG classes.

Abstract
Shockable ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VFib) are the life-threatening conditions requiring immediate attention. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation are the significant immediate recommended treatments for these shockable arrhythmias to obtain the return of spontaneous circulation. However, accurate classification of these shockable VAs from nonshockable ones is the key step during defibrillation by automated external defibrillator (AED). Therefore, in this work, we have proposed a novel algorithm for an automated differentiation of shockable and nonshockable VAs from electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The ECG signals are segmented into 5, 8 and 10[Formula: see text]s. These segmented ECGs are subjected to four levels of discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). Various nonlinear features such as approximate entropy ([Formula: see text], signal energy ([Formula: see text]), Fuzzy entropy ([Formula: see text]), Kolmogorov Sinai entropy ([Formula: see text], permutation entropy ([Formula: see text]), Renyi entropy ([Formula: see text]), sample entropy ([Formula: see text]), Shannon entropy ([Formula: see text]), Tsallis entropy ([Formula: see text]), wavelet entropy ([Formula: see text]), fractal dimension ([Formula: see text]), Kolmogorov complexity ([Formula: see text]), largest Lyapunov exponent ([Formula: see text]), recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) parameters ([Formula: see text]), Hurst exponent ([Formula: see text]), activity entropy ([Formula: see text]), Hjorth complexity ([Formula: see text]), Hjorth mobility ([Formula: see text]), modified multi scale entropy ([Formula: see text]) and higher order statistics (HOS) bispectrum ([Formula: see text]) are obtained from the DWT coefficients. Later, these features are subjected to sequential forward feature selection (SFS) method and selected features are then ranked using seven ranking methods namely, Bhattacharyya distance, entropy, Fuzzy maximum relevancy and minimum redundancy (mRMR), receiver operating characteristic (ROC), Student’s [Formula: see text]-test, Wilcoxon and ReliefF. These ranked features are supplied independently into the [Formula: see text]-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier. Our proposed system achieved maximum accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of (i) 97.72%, 94.79% and 98.74% for 5[Formula: see text]s, (ii) 98.34%, 95.49% and 99.14% for 8[Formula: see text]s and (iii) 98.32%, 95.16% and 99.20% for 10[Formula: see text]s of ECG segments using only ten features. The integration of the proposed algorithm with ECG acquisition systems in the intensive care units (ICUs) can help the clinicians to decipher the shockable and nonshockable life-threatening arrhythmias accurately. Hence, doctors can use the CPR or AED immediately and increase the chance of survival during shockable life-threatening arrhythmia intervals.

Abstract
In view of the problem that the features of ship-radiated noise are difficult to extract and inaccurate, a novel method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE) and a support vector machine (SVM) is proposed to extract the features of ship-radiated noise. In order to eliminate mode mixing and extract the complexity of the intrinsic mode function (IMF) accurately, VMD is employed to decompose the three types of ship-radiated noise instead of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and its extended methods. Considering the reason that the permutation entropy (PE) can quantify the complexity only in one scale, the MPE is used to extract features in different scales. In this study, three types of ship-radiated noise signals are decomposed into a set of band-limited IMFs by the VMD method, and the intensity of each IMF is calculated. Then, the IMFs with the highest energy are selected for the extraction of their MPE. By analyzing the separability of MPE at different scales, the optimal MPE of the IMF with the highest energy is regarded as the characteristic vector. Finally, the feature vectors are sent into the SVM classifier to classify and recognize different types of ships. The proposed method was applied in simulated signals and actual signals of ship-radiated noise. By comparing with the PE of the IMF with the highest energy by EMD, ensemble EMD (EEMD) and VMD, the results show that the proposed method can effectively extract the features of MPE and realize the classification and recognition for ships.

Abstract
In this letter, the authors propose a new entropy measure for analysis of time series. This measure is termed as the state space correlation entropy (SSCE). The state space reconstruction is used to evaluate the embedding vectors of a time series. The SSCE is computed from the probability of the correlations of the embedding vectors. The performance of SSCE measure is evaluated using both synthetic and real valued signals. The experimental results reveal that, the proposed SSCE measure along with SVM classifier have sensitivity value of 91.60%, which is higher than the performance of both sample entropy and permutation entropy features for detection of shockable ventricular arrhythmia.

Abstract
The cardiac activities such as the depolarization and the relaxation of atria and ventricles are observed in electrocardiogram (ECG). The changes in the morphological features of ECG are the symptoms of particular heart pathology. It is a cumbersome task for medical experts to visually identify any subtle changes in the morphological features during 24 hours of ECG recording. Therefore, the automated analysis of ECG signal is a need for accurate detection of cardiac abnormalities. In this paper, a novel method for automated detection of cardiac abnormalities from multilead ECG is proposed. The method uses multiscale phase alternation (PA) features of multilead ECG and two classifiers, k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and fuzzy KNN for classification of bundle branch block (BBB), myocardial infarction (MI), heart muscle defect (HMD) and healthy control (HC). The dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) is used to decompose the ECG signal of each lead into complex wavelet coefficients at different scales. The phase of the complex wavelet coefficients is computed and the PA values at each wavelet scale are used as features for detection and classification of cardiac abnormalities. A publicly available multilead ECG database (PTB database) is used for testing of the proposed method. The experimental results show that, the proposed multiscale PA features and the fuzzy KNN classifier have better performance for detection of cardiac abnormalities with sensitivity values of 78.12 %, 80.90 % and 94.31 % for BBB, HMD and MI classes. The sensitivity value of proposed method for MI class is compared with the state-of-art techniques from multilead ECG.
