Item AR modeling of heart rate signals(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2004) Nayak, J.; Subbanna Bhat, P.; Acharya, A.U.; Niranjan, U.C.; Sing, O.W.The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a representative signal containing information about the condition of the heart. The shape and size of the P-QRS-T wave, the time intervals between its various peaks etc may contain useful information about the nature of disease afflicting the heart. However, the human observer can not directly monitor these subtle details. Besides, since bio-signals are highly subjective, the symptoms may appear at random in the time scale. Therefore, the heart rate variability signal is used as the base signal for the highly useful in diagnostics. This paper deals with the analysis of eight cardiac abnormalities using Auto Regressive (AR), modeling technique. The results are tabulated below for specific example. © 2004 IEEE.Item The heart rate is a non-stationary signal, and its variation can contain indicators of current disease or warnings about impending cardiac diseases. The indicators can be present at all times or can occur at random, during certain intervals of the day. However, to study and pinpoint abnormalities in large quantities of data collected over several hours is strenuous and time consuming. Hence, heart rate variation measurement (instantaneous heart rate against time) has become a popular, non-invasive tool for assessing the autonomic nervous system. Computer-based analytical tools for the in-depth study and classification of data over day-long intervals can be very useful in diagnostics. The paper deals with the classification of cardiac rhythms using an artificial neural network and fuzzy relationships. The results indicate a high level of efficacy of the tools used, with an accuracy level of 80-85%. © IFMBE: 2004.(Classification of cardiac abnormalities using heart rate signals) Acharya, A.U.; Kumar, A.; Subbanna Bhat, P.; Lim, C.M.; Iyengar, S.S.; Kannathal, N.; Krishnan, S.M.2004
