Abstract

Arrhythmia has become the most common disease in the medical field. Manual diagnosis of arrhythmia beats is very tedious owing to its nonlinear and complex nature of electrocardiogram (ECG). In this article, a multi-class support vector machine (MSVM) based approach is proposed to solve ECG multi-classification problem. Based on the characteristics of the R-R interval, it has the capability of detecting normal heart rate (NOR), left bundle branch block (LBBB), right bundle branch block (RBBB), atrial premature complex (APC) and Ventricular premature beat (VPC) was mainly discussed. Using ECG MIT-BIH database, simulation results show the proposed method achieves a very high classification accuracy.
