Cardio-vascular diseases are one of the foremost causes of mortality in today's world. The prognosis for cardiovascular diseases is usually done by ECG signal, which is a simple 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) that gives complete information about the function of the heart including the amplitude and time interval of P-QRS-T-U segment. This article recommends a novel approach to identify the location of thrombus in culprit artery using the Information Fuzzy Network (IFN). Information Fuzzy Network, being a supervised machine learning technique, takes known evidences based on rules to create a predicted classification model with thrombus location obtained from the vast input ECG data. These rules are well-defined procedures for selecting hypothesis that best fits a set of observations. Results illustrate that the recommended approach yields an accurateness of 92.30%. This novel approach is shown to be a viable ECG analysis approach for identifying the culprit artery and thus localizing the thrombus.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a P, QRS and T wave demonstrating the electrical activity of the heart. Feature extraction and segmentation in ECG plays a significant role in diagnosing most of the cardiac disease. The main objective of this paper is to review the various machine learning approaches for diagnosing Myocardial Infarction (heart attack), differentiate Arrhythmias (heart beat variation), Hypertrophy (increase thickness of the heart muscle) and Enlargement of Heart. Further, we also present various machine learning approaches and compare different methods and results used to analyze the ECG. The existing methods are compared and contrasted based on qualitative and qualitative parameters viz., purpose of the work, algorithms adopted and results obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
