Electrocardiogram (ECG), a non-invasive technique is used as a primary diagnostic tool for cardiovascular diseases. A cleaned ECG signal provides necessary information about the electrophysiology of the heart diseases and ischemic changes that may occur. The detection of cardiac arrhythmias in the ECG signal consists of detection of QRS complex in ECG signal, feature extraction from detected QRS complexes and classification of beats using extracted feature set from QRS complexes. Transmission of signals across public receiver networks is another request in which a large amount of data is implicated. For both detection and transmission of ECG signal, data compression is an important operation and represents another purpose of ECG signal processing. Hence, in this research work, the best training method i.e. Levenberg Marquardt algorithm will be utilized for classification on the basis of validation checks or epochs with an optimization technique. The purpose of this research work is to classify the disease dataset using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) Algorithm and trained by Levenberg Marquardt algorithm on the basis of the features extracted and also to test the image on the basis of the features at the database and the features extracted of the waveform, will be tested. The advantage of the proposed method is to minimize the error rate of the classification which occurs due to an insignificant count of R-peaks.

Heart Attacks are the major cause of death in the world today, particularly in India. The need to predict this is a major necessity for improving the countries healthcare sector. Accurate and precise prediction of the heart disease mainly depends on Electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Heart disease is a major life threatening disease that cause to death and it has a serious long term disability. The time taken to recover from heart disease depends on patient’s severity. Heart disease diagnosis is complex task which requires much experience and knowledge. Nowadays, health care industry contain huge amount of health care data, which contain hidden information. Advanced data mining techniques along with computer generated information are used for appropriate results. Neural Network is widely used tool for predicting heart attack. A Heart Attack Prediction System we are proposing with the help of Neural Networkand Genetic Algorithm. This system calculates the number of hidden nodes for neural network which train the network with proper selection of neural network architecture and uses the global optimization of genetic algorithm for initialization of neural network.
ECG is basically the graphical representation of the electrical activity of cardiac muscles during contraction and release stages. It helps in determination of the cardiac arrhythmias in a well manner. Due to this early detection of arrhythmias can be done properly. In other words we can say that the bio-potentials generated by the cardiac muscles results in an electrical signal called Electro-cardiogram (ECG). It acts as a vital physiological parameter, which is being used exclusively to know the state of the cardiac patients. Feature extraction of ECG plays a vital role in the manual as well as automatic analysis of ECG. In this paper the study of the concept of pattern recognition of ECG is done. It refers to the classification of data patterns and characterizing them into classes of predefined set. The analysis ECG signal falls under the application of pattern recognition. The ECG signal generated waveform gives almost all information about activity of the heart. The ECG signal feature extraction parameters such as spectral entropy, Poincare plot and Lyapunov exponent are used for study in this paper .This paper also includes artificial neural network as a classifier for identifying the abnormalities of heart disease. 1. Introduction Electrocardiography gives information of the electrical activity of the cardiac muscles. Bio-signals which are usually non-stationary signals may occur randomly in the timescale. Hence, for the effective diagnosis, the ECG signal pattern and heart rate variability should be observed over several hours. Because of the volume of the data being enormous due to long time recording, the analysis of it is tedious and also time consuming. Therefore, automatic computer-based examination and classification of cardiac diseases can be very helpful in diagnostic [1]. The frequency range of an ECG signal lies in between 0.05–100 Hz and its magnitude lies in the range of 1–10 mV. It is been characterized by five peaks and valleys labeled as P, Q, R, S and T as shown in Fig 1. The performance of any automatic ECG analyzer depends majorly on the accurate and reliable detection of the QRS segmentation part, as well as T and P waves. The detection of the QRS segmentation part is the crucial task in automatic ECG signal analysis. Because, once the QRS segmentation part has been acknowledged a more comprehensive assessment of ECG signal can be performed that includes the heart rate, the ST segment etc. The normal beats have the P-R interval usually in the range of 0.12-0.2 seconds whereas the QRS interval lies in the range of 0.04-0.12 seconds. The division of ECG is basically in two phases as depolarization of the cardiac muscles and repolarisation of the cardiac muscles. The depolarization phases include the P wave i.e, atrial depolarization and QRS-wave i.e, ventricles depolarization. The repolarisation phases include the T-wave and U-wave i.e, ventricular repolarisation [2-6]. Malfunction in the signaling in the myocardium results in the heart to pump blood less effectively and deteriorates proper conduction process of the heart [4]. Hence, the early detection of arrhythmias is very helpful for living a durable and reliable life as well as improves early detection of arrhythmias. Generally, the standard ECG signals are categorized into three different groups and shown in Figure 1. a. Waves – deviations from the isoelectric line i.e, the baseline voltage. They are named successively: P, Q, R, S, T, U. b. Segments-isoelectric lines time duration between waves. c. Intervals-time duration which include segments and waves.

A new method is used in this work to classify ECG beats. The new method is about using an optimization algorithm for selecting the features of each beat then classify them. For each beat, twenty-four higher order statistical features and three timing interval features are obtained. Five types of beat classes are used for classification in this work, atrial premature contractions (APC), normal (NOR), premature ventricular contractions (PVC), left bundle branch (LBBB) and right bundle branch (RBBB). Cuttlefish algorithm is used for feature selection which is a new bio-inspired optimization algorithm. Four classifiers are used within CFA, Scaled Conjugate Gradient Artificial Neural Network (SCG-ANN), K-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN), Interactive Dichotomizer 3 (ID3) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The final results show an accuracy of 97.96% for ANN, 95.71% for KNN, 94.69% for ID3 and 93.06% for SVM, these results were tested on fourteen signal records from MIT-HIH database, where 1400 beats were extracted from these records.

Potentially lethal heart abnormalities can be detected/spotted with recent evolution in continuous, long-term cardiac health monitoring using wearable sensors. However, the huge data accumulated presents a challenge in terms of storage, knowledge extraction and computing time. Moreover, manual examination of long-term ECG recordings presents various problems like huge time and work demand, interobserver variations and difficulty classifying complex non-linear single-lead ECG signal. To address these problems, we propose an automatic heartbeat classification system that uses the optimized minimum number of features using ECG time-series amplitude directly as input, without feature extraction and provides a primary classification and diagnosis for 1 normal and 14 types of arrhythmic heartbeats. Multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is used to achieve the best feature fitness. A novel fitness function is designed to be the sum of macro F1 loss and normalized dimension, with the optimization objective calculated as the minimum of the fitness function. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP), k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, random forest and extra decision tree classifiers are trained using the selected features. For the targeted 15-class classification problem, MOPSO-optimized features with MLP consistently performed best with significantly reduced number of features. The proposed method proves to be an efficient and effective arrhythmia identification system for continuous, long-term cardiac health monitoring using single-lead ECG signal.

INTRODUCTION 19 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) consistently remain the 20 leading cause of death worldwide despite the latest 21 computer-aided diagnosis methods and an evolutionary shift 22 in the increased use of wearable medical devices. World 23 Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 17.9 million 24 people died from CVDs in 2019 worldwide, constituting 25 32% of the global death count. Of these, an estimated 26 7.3 million death were due to Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) 27 The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Sotirios Goudos. 48 able sensors with higher recording frequency [3], [4], [5]. 49 ECG signals acquired with wearable sensors are often lased 50 with distortions which eventually imply a significant comput-51 ing overhead that necessitate the use of high-end hardware. 52 Huge amount of data make using automated analysis a 53 challenge; noise from skin contact, muscle activity; individ-54 ual human factors play a critical role with different subjects 55 having different medical histories and underlying physiolog-56 ical and behavioral conditions. Even for one testing human, 57 ECG signal morphology is not stationary as is also evident 58 by the biometric identification applications of ECG [6], [7], 59 [8]. Then physical activities also contribute to the challenge 60 with processing the signals. Nonlinearity of ECG signals with 61 noise and artefact effect can lead to overlooked or hidden 62 of measured symptoms of diseases and all these in the end 63 culminate in an inaccurate diagnosis. These factors make the 64 risk of getting an incorrect diagnosis of arrhythmia greater. 65 To meet a medical standard and clinically accepted moni-66 toring system, early detection of abnormal conditions, accu-67 rate decision support and high quality and real-time patient 68 data acquisition need to be considered. Computer-aided tech-69 niques in this domain work as a decision support tool that 70 provide an accurate and timely diagnosis of heart abnormali-71 ties and play a pivotal role in referring the patient to conduct 72 a specialized and detailed assessment of the underlying cause 73 and hence follow a proper prescribed treatment and preven-74 tive care. Optimized feature selection could aid devices that 75 are able to make long-term and continuous monitoring [9], 76 [10], [11]. Optimum feature selection-removal of noisy and 77 redundant data plus the use of only relevant and least possible 78 amount of data for processing-are realized through the use 79 of advanced processing. 80 Currently proposed arrhythmia classification systems [12], 81 [13], [14] usually follow pre-processing, QRS detection, car-82 diac cycle identification, feature definition and extraction 83 and heartbeat classification into normal and multiple types 84 of arrhythmia classes [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. Recently, 85 researchers have presented different feature reduction meth-86 ods to reduce input dimensions of ECG signals for neural 87 classifiers. To name a few, Zhang et al. [20] extracted sta-88 tistical features applying the combined method of frequency 89 analysis and Shannon entropy and used information gain 90 criterion to select 10 highly effective features to obtain a good 91 classification on five types of heartbeats. Yildrim et al. [21] 92 implemented a convolutional auto-encoder based nonlinear 93 compression structure to reduce the feature size of arrhyth-94 mic beats. Tuncer et al. [22] applied the neighborhood com-95 157 volution was proposed in [39]. Segmented beats were stored 158 as 2D images after annotations. Discrete wavelet transform 159 was used for noise removal. To handle data imbalance [40] 160 proposed a depth-wise separable CNN with focal loss. The 161 focal loss improved especially the small sample cases-the 162 minority classes, and the convolution layers reduce num-163 ber of parameter selection. Focal loss added weights to the 164 majority and minority samples with a modulating factor. 165 Li et al. [41] proposed an image-based setup using deep 166 convolutional neural networks and transfer learning. It used 167 the Inception-V3 model architecture after comparison with 168 resnet, densenet, xception, inception and NASnet models. 169 Jha et al. [42] proposed a data compression method based on 170 tunable-Q wavelet transform with Q-factor chosen according 171 to the oscillatory behaviour of the signal. Maximum energy 172 of the signal was compacted to fewer transform coefficients, 173 then followed a dead-zone quantization, integer conversion of 174 coefficients and run length encoding. Features were extracted 175 from the compressed ECG signal. An image analysis was 176 proposed in [43], combining a vector quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) and a 2D-CNN. VQ-VAE a flexi-178 ble generating tool for data imbalance. ECG image slices were used to train the PixelCNN classifier. It lacks in inter-180 pretability of the rare cases. Luo et al. [44] proposed a hybrid 181 convolutional recurrent neural net that processes time-series 182 ECG signal and aimed to solve large imbalance in samples 183 by a synthetic minority oversampling technique. It calculates 184 nearest neighbors by Euclidean distance between data. The 185 RNN comprised layers of a CNN, LSTM and gated recurrent 186 unit (GRU). Du et al. [45] proposed a variational autoencoder 187 (VAE) and auxiliary classifier generative adversarial network 188 (ACGAN) to learn data distribution and synthesize images 189 from minority class. CNN classifiers were employed to rec-190 ognize arrhythmias using 2D ECG images.VAE and ACGAN 191 required to be trained separately highlighting higher com-192 putational cost. In [46] an improvement on NN-based clas-193 sifiers was proposed with a CNN incorporating fine-tuning 194 of attention maps to resemble the ground-truth labels using 195 an L2-distance objective function. Park et al. [47] used a 196 squeeze-and-excitation (SE) residual network with 152 layers 197 to categorize 14 classes. The SE block explained model 198 interaction between local parts on entire ECG. An adaptive 199 method was proposed by Bognar and Fridli [48] based on 200 modeling ECG signals with variable rational orthogonal pro-201 jections employing Malmquist-Takenaka systems of rational 202 functions. The system is a task-specific optimization that 203 builds a feature vector based on dynamic and morphologi-204 cal descriptors (patient-depending and individual-heartbeat-205 depending features). SVM was used for classification into 206 5 and 16 classes, and the pole optimization process was 207 (Multi-objective particle swarm optimization) algorithm is 268 tuned to find an optimum reduced combination of features 269 that performs better as compared to all features. We mainly 270 used PSO because this algorithm has a strong capability to 271 explore a large search space to find global optima rarely 272 falling into local optima thus a good choice for feature 273 selection in the current problem this work distinguishes a 274 wide range of arrhythmia classes. Also, MOPSO uses less 275 computational resource because of fast convergence ability 276 with fewer control parameters. Less computationally effi-277 cient algorithms are used at the classification end to test 278 the goodness of reported optimized features. Classification 279 using multi-layer perceptron (MLP) [53], K-nearest neigh-280 bor (KNN) [54], support vector machine (SVM) [55], [56], 281 random forest (RF) [57], and decision extra tree (DET) [58] 282 is performed with optimum and all features to show the 283 difference. Using the proposed method for classifying abnor-284 mal heartbeats using reduced direct signal amplitude features 285 skips the computation of secondary features, produces higher 286 classification performance due to removal of unnecessary 287 features and is faster in unseen test data due to optimized 288 minimum features. 289 Summarily, the aim of this research is the realization of the 290 following: 291 • A novel and effective decision support system for 292 automatic recognition of a broad range of arrhythmia 293 pathologies based on single-lead ECG signals. 294 • An algorithm using minimum computational complex-295 ity in...
