Abstract
Accurate and computationally efficient means of electrocardiography (ECG) arrhythmia detec-tion has been the subject of considerable re-search efforts in recent years. Intelligent com-puting tools such as artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic approaches are demon-strated to be competent when applied individu-ally to a variety of problems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in combining both of these approaches, and as a result, adaptive neural fuzzy filters (ANFF) [1] have been evolved. This study presents a comparative study of the classification accuracy of ECG signals using (MLP) with back propagation training algorithm, and a new adaptive neural fuzzy filter architec-ture (ANFF) for early diagnosis of ECG ar-rhythmia. ANFF is inherently a feed forward multilayered connectionist network which can learn by itself according to numerical training data or expert knowledge represented by fuzzy if-then rules [1]. In this paper we used an adap-tive neural fuzzy filter as an ECG beat classifier. We combined 3 famous wavelet transforms and used them mid 4 the order AR model coefficient as features. Our results suggest that a new proposed classifier (ANFF) with these features can generalize better than ordinary MLP archi-tecture and also learn better and faster. The results of proposed method show high accu-racy in ECG beat classification (97.6%) with 100% specificity and high sensitivity.
