Title
Real-time arrhythmia classification for large databases.
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a coarse-to-fine arrhythmia classification technique that can be used for efficient processing of large Electrocardiogram (ECG) records. This technique reduces time-complexity of arrhythmia classification by reducing size of the beats as well as by quantizing the number of beats using Multi-Section Vector Quantization (MSVQ) without compromising on the accuracy of the classification. The proposed solution is tested on MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. This work achieves a highest computational speed-up factor of 2.2:1 in comparison with standard arrhythmia classification technique with marginal loss (<;1%) in classification accuracy. The clinical application of this technique enhances physician's throughput by factor of 2x while processing large ECG records from Holter system.
