Abstract
Purpose
Patients having ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation, that are early markers of stroke and sudden cardiac death, as well as benign subjects are all studied using the electrocardiogram (ECG). In order to identify cardiac anomalies, ECG signals analyse the heart's electrical activity and show output in the form of waveforms. Patients with these disorders must be identified as soon as possible. ECG signals can be difficult, time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability when inspected manually.
Design/methodology/approach
There are various forms of arrhythmias that are difficult to distinguish in complicated non-linear ECG data. It may be beneficial to use computer-aided decision support systems (CAD). It is possible to classify arrhythmias in a rapid, accurate, repeatable and objective manner using the CAD, which use machine learning algorithms to identify the tiny changes in cardiac rhythms. Cardiac infractions can be classified and detected using this method. The authors want to categorize the arrhythmia with better accurate findings in even less computational time as the primary objective. Using signal and axis characteristics and their association n-grams as features, this paper makes a significant addition to the field. Using a benchmark dataset as input to multi-label multi-fold cross-validation, an experimental investigation was conducted.
Findings
This dataset was used as input for cross-validation on contemporary models and the resulting cross-validation metrics have been weighed against the performance metrics of other contemporary models. There have been few false alarms with the suggested model's high sensitivity and specificity.
Originality/value
The results of cross validation are significant. In terms of specificity, sensitivity, and decision accuracy, the proposed model outperforms other contemporary models.
