Abstract
Access to accurate and precise monitoring systems for cardiac arrhythmia could contribute significantly to preventing damage and subsequent heart disorders. The present research concentrates on using photoplethysmography (PPG) and arterial blood pressure (ABP) with deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for the classification and detection of fetal cardiac arrhythmia or premature ventricular contractions (PMVCs). The framework for the study entails (Icentia 11k) a public dataset of ECG signals consisting of different cardiac abnormalities. Following this, the weights obtained from the Icentia 11k dataset are transferred to the proposed CNN. Finally, fine-tuning was carried out to improve the accuracy of classification. Results obtained showcase the capacity of the proposed method to detect and classify PMVCs into three types: Normal, P1, and P2 with an accuracy of 99.9%, 99.8%, and 99.5%.

[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
This study proposes the detection of ventricular fibrillation (VF) by wavelet transforms (WTs) and phase space reconstruction (PSR) from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. A neural network with weighted fuzzy memberships (NEWFM) is used to detect VF as a classifier. In the first step, the WT was used to remove noise in ECG signals. In the second step, coordinates were mapped from the wavelet coefficients by the PSR. In the final step, NEWFM used the mapped coordinates-based features as inputs. The NEWFM has the bounded sum of weighted fuzzy memberships (BSWFM) that can easily appear the distinctness between the normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and VF in the graphical characteristics. The BSWFM can easily be set up in a portable automatic external defibrillator (AED) to detect VF in an emergency.

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.

Abstract
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is associated to the risk of ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular events. Its diagnosis depends on a long-time monitoring, and computational tools for PVC recognition can provide significant assistance to specialists. For this purpose, we present an automatic algorithm for the recognition PVC beat based on long-term 12-lead ECG.A total of 249 patients with PVC were included in this study. Initially, a novel QRS onset detection function was used to automatically extract QRS complexes from massive original ECG data. Then, non-personalized but shared QRS-width features of 12-lead QRS complexes were extracted and fed to a binary classifier based on SVM. In order to verify the model, 17, 512 normal beats and 17, 690 PVC beats extracted from 35 patients were used for training, and another 215 normal beats and 291 PVC beats selected randomly from the remaining 214 patients were used for testing.As a result, the achieved accuracy, sensitivity, specificity in training data and testing data are 98.9%, 98.3%, 99.5% and 97.2%, 97.7%, 96.7%, respectively. The high accuracy of PVC recognition makes it promising to be an efficient technique being used in clinical settings to automatically analyze huge ECG data so as to replace the tedious manual interpretation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring has increased drastically in an attempt to prevent the spread of the virus and keep vulnerable individuals with less severe cases out of hospitals. Enabling clinicians to set up remote patient ECG monitoring easily and determining how to classify the ECG signals accurately so relevant alerts are sent in a timely fashion is an urgent problem to be addressed for remote patient monitoring (RPM) to be adopted widely. Hence, a new technique is required to enable routine and widespread use of RPM, as is needed due to COVID-19. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this research is to create a robust and easy-to-use solution for personalized ECG monitoring in real-world settings that is precise, easily configurable, and understandable by clinicians. METHODS In this paper, we propose a Personalized Monitoring Model (PMM) for ECG data based on motif discovery. Motif discovery finds meaningful or frequently recurring patterns in patient ECG readings. The main strategy is to use motif discovery to extract a small sample of personalized motifs for each individual patient and then use these motifs to predict abnormalities in real-time readings of that patient using an artificial logical network configured by a physician. RESULTS Our approach was tested on 30 minutes of ECG readings from 32 patients. The average diagnostic accuracy of the PMM was always above 90% and reached 100% for some parameters, compared to 80% accuracy for the Generalized Monitoring Models (GMM). Regardless of parameter settings, PMM training models were generated within 3-4 minutes, compared to 1 hour (or longer, with increasing amounts of training data) for the GMM. CONCLUSIONS Our proposed PMM almost eliminates many of the training and small sample issues associated with GMMs. It also addresses accuracy and computational cost issues of the GMM, caused by the uniqueness of heartbeats and training issues. In addition, it addresses the fact that doctors and nurses typically do not have data science training and the skills needed to configure, understand, and even trust existing black box machine learning models.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel ECG classification algorithm for inclusion as part of real-time cardiac monitoring systems in ultra low-power wearable devices. The proposed solution is based on spiking neural networks which are the third generation of neural networks. In specific, we employ spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP), and reward-modulated STDP (R-STDP), in which the model weights are trained according to the timings of spike signals, and reward or punishment signals. Experiments show that the proposed solution is suitable for real-time operation, achieves comparable accuracy with respect to previous methods, and more importantly, its energy consumption in real-time classification of ECG signals is significantly smaller. In specific, energy consumption is 1.78 μJ per beat, which is 2 to 9 orders of magnitude smaller than previous neural network based ECG classification methods.

Abstract
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is one of the most common arrhythmias in the clinic. Due to its variability and susceptibility, patients may be at risk at any time. The rapid and accurate classification of PVC is of great significance for the treatment of diseases. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a method based on the combination of features and random forest to identify PVC. The RR intervals (pre_RR and post_RR), R amplitude, and QRS area are chosen as the features because they are able to identify PVC better. The experiment was validated on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and achieved good results. Compared with other methods, the accuracy of this method has been significantly improved.

Abstract
Chaotic time series widely exists in nature and society (e.g., meteorology, physics, economics, etc.), which usually exhibits seemingly unpredictable features due to its inherent nonstationary and high complexity. Thankfully, multifarious advanced approaches have been developed to tackle the prediction issues, such as statistical methods, artificial neural networks (ANNs), and support vector machines. Among them, the interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (IT2FNN), which is a synergistic integration of fuzzy logic systems and ANNs, has received wide attention in the field of chaotic time series prediction. This paper begins with the structural features and superiorities of IT2FNN. Moreover, chaotic characters identification and phase-space reconstruction matters for prediction are presented. In addition, we also offer a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art applications of IT2FNN, with an emphasis on chaotic time series prediction and summarize their main contributions as well as some hardware implementations for computation speedup. Finally, this paper trends and extensions of this field, along with an outlook of future challenges are revealed. The primary objective of this paper is to serve as a tutorial or referee for interested researchers to have an overall picture on the current developments and identify their potential research direction to further investigation.

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
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a useful tool for detecting heart disease. Automated ECG diagnosis allows for heart monitoring on small devices, especially on wearable devices. In order to recognize arrhythmias automatically, accurate classification method for electrocardiogram (ECG) heartbeats was studied in this paper. METHODS Based on weighted extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), a hierarchical classification method is proposed. A large number of features from 6 categories are extracted from the preprocessed heartbeats. Then recursive feature elimination is used for selecting features. Afterwards, a hierarchical classifier is constructed in classification stage. The hierarchical classifier is composed of threshold and XGBoost classifiers. And the XGBoost classifiers are improved with weights. RESULTS The method was applied to an inter-patient experiment conforming AAMI standard. The obtained sensitivities for normal (N), supraventricular (S), ventricular (V), fusion (F), and Unknown beats (Q) were 92.1%, 91.7%, 95.1%, and 61.6%. Positive predictive values of 99.5%, 46.2%, 88.1%, and 15.2% were also provided for the four classes. CONCLUSIONS XGBoost was improved and firstly introduced in single heartbeat classification. A comparison showed the effectiveness of the novel method. The method was more suitable for clinical application as both high positive predictive value for N class and high sensitivities for abnormal classes were provided.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmias causing morbidity and mortality. AF may appear as episodes of very short (i.e., proximal AF) or sustained duration (i.e., persistent AF), either form of which causes irregular ventricular excitations that affect the global function of the heart. It is an unmet challenge for early and automatic detection of AF, limiting efficient treatment strategies for AF. In this study, we developed a new method based on continuous wavelet transform and 2D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect AF episodes. The proposed method analyzed the time-frequency features of the electrocardiogram (ECG), thus being different to conventional AF detecting methods that implement isolating atrial or ventricular activities. Then a 2D CNN was trained to improve AF detection performance. The MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database was used for evaluating the algorithm. The efficacy of the proposed method was compared with those of some existing methods, most of which implemented the same dataset. The newly developed algorithm using CNNs achieved 99.41, 98.91, 99.39, and 99.23% for the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and overall accuracy (ACC) respectively. As the proposed algorithm targets the time-frequency feature of ECG signals rather than isolated atrial or ventricular activity, it has the ability to detect AF episodes for using just five beats, suggesting practical applications in the future.

Abstract
With the alarming rise in the deaths due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), present medical research scenario places notable importance on techniques and methods to detect CVDs. As adduced by world health organization, technological proceeds in the field of cardiac function assessment have become the nucleus and heart of all leading research studies in CVDs in which electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is the most functional and convenient tool used to test the range of heart-related irregularities. Most of the approaches present in the literature of ECG signal analysis consider noise removal, rhythm-based analysis, and heartbeat detection to improve the performance of a cardiac pacemaker. Advancements achieved in the field of ECG segments detection and beat classification have a limited evaluation and still require clinical approvals. In this paper, approaches on techniques to implement on-chip ECG detector for a cardiac pacemaker system are discussed. Moreover, different challenges regarding the ECG signal morphology analysis deriving from medical literature is extensively reviewed. It is found that robustness to noise, wavelet parameter choice, numerical efficiency, and detection performance are essential performance indicators required by a state-of-the-art ECG detector. Furthermore, many algorithms described in the existing literature are not verified using ECG data from the standard databases. Some ECG detection algorithms show very high detection performance with the total number of detected QRS complexes. However, the high detection performance of the algorithm is verified using only a few datasets. Finally, gaps in current advancements and testing are identified, and the primary challenge remains to be implementing bullseye test for morphology analysis evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To safely select the proper therapy for Ventricullar Fibrillation (VF) is essential to distinct it correctly from Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and other rhythms. Provided that the required therapy would not be the same, an erroneous detection might lead to serious injuries to the patient or even cause Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). The main novelty of this paper is the use of time-frequency (t-f) representation images as the direct input to the classifier. We hypothesize that this method allow to improve classification results as it allows to eliminate the typical feature selection and extraction stage, and its corresponding loss of information. METHODS The standard AHA and MIT-BIH databases were used for evaluation and comparison with other authors. Previous to t-f Pseudo Wigner-Ville (PWV) calculation, only a basic preprocessing for denoising and signal alignment is necessary. In order to check the validity of the method independently of the classifier, four different classifiers are used: Logistic Regression with L2 Regularization (L2 RLR), Adaptive Neural Network Classifier (ANNC), Support Vector Machine (SSVM), and Bagging classifier (BAGG). RESULTS The main classification results for VF detection (including flutter episodes) are 95.56% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity, 88.80% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity for ventricular tachycardia (VT), 98.98% sensitivity and 97.7% specificity for normal sinus, and 96.87% sensitivity and 99.55% specificity for other rhythms. CONCLUSION Results shows that using t-f data representations to feed classifiers provide superior performance values than the feature selection strategies used in previous works. It opens the door to be used in any other detection applications.

Abstract
Background The sequence of Q, R, and S peaks (QRS) complex detection is a crucial procedure in electrocardiogram (ECG) processing and analysis. We propose a novel approach for QRS complex detection based on the deterministic finite automata with the addition of some constraints. This paper confirms that regular grammar is useful for extracting QRS complexes and interpreting normalized ECG signals. A QRS is assimilated to a pair of adjacent peaks which meet certain criteria of standard deviation and duration. Results The proposed method was applied on several kinds of ECG signals issued from the standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. A total of 48 signals were used. For an input signal, several parameters were determined, such as QRS durations, RR distances, and the peaks’ amplitudes. σRR and σQRS parameters were added to quantify the regularity of RR distances and QRS durations, respectively. The sensitivity rate of the suggested method was 99.74% and the specificity rate was 99.86%. Moreover, the sensitivity and the specificity rates variations according to the Signal-to-Noise Ratio were performed. Conclusions Regular grammar with the addition of some constraints and deterministic automata proved functional for ECG signals diagnosis. Compared to statistical methods, the use of grammar provides satisfactory and competitive results and indices that are comparable to or even better than those cited in the literature.

Abstract
We propose a fast and accurate patient-specific electrocardiogram (ECG) classification and monitoring system using an adaptive implementation of 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that can fuse feature extraction and classification into a unified learner. In this way, a dedicated CNN will be trained for each patient by using relatively small common and patient-specific training data and thus it can also be used to classify long ECG records such as Holter registers in a fast and accurate manner. Alternatively, such a solution can conveniently be used for real-time ECG monitoring and early alert system on a light-weight wearable device. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves a superior classification performance for the detection of ventricular ectopic beats (VEB) and supraventricular ectopic beats (SVEB).

Abstract
In this study, Random Forests (RF) classifier is proposed for ECG heartbeat signal classification in diagnosis of heart arrhythmia. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to decompose ECG signals into different successive frequency bands. A set of different statistical features were extracted from the obtained frequency bands to denote the distribution of wavelet coefficients. This study shows that RF classifier achieves superior performances compared to other decision tree methods using 10-fold cross-validation for the ECG datasets and the obtained results suggest that further significant improvements in terms of classification accuracy can be accomplished by the proposed classification system. Accurate ECG signal classification is the major requirement for detection of all arrhythmia types. Performances of the proposed system have been evaluated on two different databases, namely MIT-BIH database and St. -Petersburg Institute of Cardiological Technics 12-lead Arrhythmia Database. For MIT-BIH database, RF classifier yielded an overall accuracy 99.33 % against 98.44 and 98.67 % for the C4.5 and CART classifiers, respectively. For St. -Petersburg Institute of Cardiological Technics 12-lead Arrhythmia Database, RF classifier yielded an overall accuracy 99.95 % against 99.80 % for both C4.5 and CART classifiers, respectively. The combined model with multiscale principal component analysis (MSPCA) de-noising, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and RF classifier also achieves better performance with the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and F-measure equal to 0.999 and 0.993 for MIT-BIH database and 1 and 0.999 for and St. -Petersburg Institute of Cardiological Technics 12-lead Arrhythmia Database, respectively. Obtained results demonstrate that the proposed system has capacity for reliable classification of ECG signals, and to assist the clinicians for making an accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders (CVDs).

Abstract
An automated noise-robust premature ventricular contraction (PVC) detection method is proposed based on the sparse signal decomposition, temporal features, and decision rules. In this Letter, the authors exploit sparse expansion of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals on mixed dictionaries for simultaneously enhancing the QRS complex and reducing the influence of tall P and T waves, baseline wanders, and muscle artefacts. They further investigate a set of ten generalised temporal features combined with decision-rule-based detection algorithm for discriminating PVC beats from non-PVC beats. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method is evaluated using 47 ECG recordings from the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. Evaluation results show that the proposed method achieves an average sensitivity of 89.69%, and specificity 99.63%. Results further show that the proposed decision-rule-based algorithm with ten generalised features can accurately detect different patterns of PVC beats (uniform and multiform, couplets, triplets, and ventricular tachycardia) in presence of other normal and abnormal heartbeats.

Abstract
Computer systems for Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis support the clinician in tedious tasks (e.g., Holter ECG monitored in Intensive Care Units) or in prompt detection of dangerous events (e.g., ventricular fibrillation). Together with clinical applications (arrhythmia detection and heart rate variability analysis), ECG is currently being investigated in biometrics (human identification), an emerging area receiving increasing attention. Methodologies for clinical applications can have both differences and similarities with respect to biometrics. This paper reviews methods of ECG processing from a pattern recognition perspective. In particular, we focus on features commonly used for heartbeat classification. Considering the vast literature in the field and the limited space of this review, we dedicated a detailed discussion only to a few classifiers (Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines) because of their popularity; however, other techniques such as Hidden Markov Models and Kalman Filtering will be also mentioned.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death worldwide. Currently, portable battery-operated systems such as mobile phones with wireless ECG sensors have the potential to be used in continuous cardiac function assessment that can be easily integrated into daily life. These portable point-of-care diagnostic systems can therefore help unveil and treat cardiovascular diseases. The basis for ECG analysis is a robust detection of the prominent QRS complex, as well as other ECG signal characteristics. However, it is not clear from the literature which ECG analysis algorithms are suited for an implementation on a mobile device. We investigate current QRS detection algorithms based on three assessment criteria: 1) robustness to noise, 2) parameter choice, and 3) numerical efficiency, in order to target a universal fast-robust detector. Furthermore, existing QRS detection algorithms may provide an acceptable solution only on small segments of ECG signals, within a certain amplitude range, or amid particular types of arrhythmia and/or noise. These issues are discussed in the context of a comparison with the most conventional algorithms, followed by future recommendations for developing reliable QRS detection schemes suitable for implementation on battery-operated mobile devices.

Abstract
In this study, we proposed 17 input features based on wavelet coefficients for arrhythmia detection and, by applying linear discriminant analysis to these, reduced the feature dimension to be 4. Then, with newly constructed 4 dimension input feature, a multi-layer perceptrons classifier was tried to detect 6 types of arrhythmia beats. For evaluation of input features by linear discriminant analysis, the arrhythmia detection efficiency with these (LDA) was compared to that with original input features (ORG) and that with of input features by principle component analysis (PCA) respectively. When LDA was compared to ORG, the former showed similar or a little higher values than the latter for different types of arrhythmia beats except SVT. And, LDA showed to be persistently higher than PCA. By theses cross-validations, for the detection of several types of arrhythmia beats, the reduction of input feature dimension by linear discriminant analysis was revealed to be prior to that by principle component analysis. Even if LDA was compared to ORG, it maintained the acceptable level efficiency so that the time and computational costs would be expected to be cutdown dramatically. Finally, by the proposed algorithm, we could obtain the good accuracy of arrhythmia detection and that of NSR, SVT, PVC and VF was 99.52%, 99.43%, 98.59% and 99.88%, respectively.

Abstract
Long term continuous monitoring of electrocardiogram (ECG) in a free living environment provides valuable information for prevention on the heart attack and other high risk diseases. This paper presents the design of a real-time wearable ECG monitoring system with associated cardiac arrhythmia classification algorithms. One of the striking advantages is that ECG analog front-end and on-node digital processing are designed to remove most of the noise and bias. In addition, the wearable sensor node is able to monitor the patient's ECG and motion signal in an unobstructive way. To realize the real-time medical analysis, the ECG is digitalized and transmitted to a smart phone via Bluetooth. On the smart phone, the ECG waveform is visualized and a novel layered hidden Markov model is seamlessly integrated to classify multiple cardiac arrhythmias in real time. Experimental results demonstrate that the clean and reliable ECG waveform can be captured in multiple stressed conditions and the real-time classification on cardiac arrhythmia is competent to other workbenches.
