Abstract

Previous works for detecting arrhythmia have mostly used nonlinear method such as artificial neural network, fuzzy theory, support vector machine to increase classification accuracy. Most methods require accurate detection of P-QRS-T point, higher computational cost and larger processing time. But it is difficult to detect the P and T wave signal because of person's individual difference. Therefore it is necessary to design efficient algorithm that classifies different arrhythmia in realtime and decreases computational cost by extrating minimal feature. In this paper, we propose arrhythmia detection based on binary coding using QRS feature varibility. For this purpose, we detected R wave, RR interval, QRS width from noise-free ECG signal through the preprocessing method. Also, we classified arrhythmia in realtime by converting threshold variability of feature to binary code. PVC, PAC, Normal, BBB, Paced beat classification is evaluated by using 39 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average of 97.18%, 94.14%, 99.83%, 92.77%, 97.48% in PVC, PAC, Normal, BBB, Paced beat classification.

부정맥 검출을 위한 기존 연구들은 분류의 정확성을 높이기 위해 신경망, 퍼지 이론, SVM 등과 같은 비선형 방법이 주로 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 대부분의 방법들은 P-QRS-T 지점의 정확한 측정을 필요로 하며, 데이터의 가공 및 연산이 복잡하다. 또한 P파, T파의 개인차가 있어 파형을 구분할 수 없을 경우도 존재한다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서는 최소한의 특징점을 추출함으로써 연산의 복잡도를 줄이고, 실시간으로 다양한 부정맥을 분류할 수 있는 적합한 알고리즘의 설계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 QRS 특징점 변화에 따른 바이너리 코딩 기반의 실시간 부정맥 분류 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 전처리를 통해 잡음이 제거된 심전도 신호에서 R파, RR 간격, QRS 폭을 추출하고, 각 특징점들의 문턱치(threshold) 만족 여부를 바이너리 코드화시킴으로써 실시간으로 부정맥을 분류 하였다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 39개의 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스 레코드를 대상으로 PVC, PAC, Normal, BBB, Paced beat의 검출률을 비교하였다. 실험결과 PVC, PAC, Normal, BBB, Paced beat는 각각 97.18%, 94.14%, 99.83%, 92.77%, 97.48%의 우수한 평균 검출률을 나타내었다.
