Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most familiar example of arrhythmia that will occur health problems such as stroke, heart failure and other complications. Globally, the number of AF patients will more than triple by 2050 worldwide. Current methods involve performing large-area ablation without knowing the exact location of key parts. The reliability of the technology can be used as a target for atrial fibrillation’s catheter ablation. The factors that leading to the onset of atrial fibrillation include the triggering factors that induce arrhythmia and the substrate that maintains the arrhythmia. The project’s aim is to create a method for identifying AF that can be used as screening tool in medical practice. The primary goals for the detection method’s design are to develop a MATLAB software program that can compare the complexity of a normal ECG signal and an AF ECG signal. Currently, this can be achieved by the ECG Signal’s R peaks and RR Interval. For AF detection, there are more R peaks and RR Intervals and it is irregular. In this research, the detection of AF is based on the heart rate (RR Intervals). For the ECG preprocessing, Pan-Tompkins Algorithm and Discrete Wavelet Transform is used to detect the sensitivity on the R peaks and RR Intervals. As a result, Discrete Wavelet Transform algorithm gives 100% sensitivity for the dataset obtained from MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation and MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database.

Baseline Wandering

In this paper, an offline double density discrete wavelet transform based QRS complex detection of the electrocardiogram signal is discussed. Baseline wandering present in the signal is removed by using the double density discrete wavelet transformed approximation coefficients of the signal. The results are more accurate than other methods with less effort. This is an unsupervised method allowing the process to be used in offline automatic analysis of electrocardiogram. The measurement of timing intervals of ECG signal by automated system is highly superior to its subjective analysis. The heart rate signals are essentially non-stationary and contain indicators of current disease or warnings about impending diseases. The indicators may be present at all times or may occur at random in the time scale. Double density discrete wavelet transform is easier to implement, provides multiresolution and also reduces the computational time. In the pre-processing step, the baseline wandering is removed from the ECG signal. Then the R peaks/QRS complexes are detected. From the location of the R peaks, the successive RR intervals and heart rate are calculated. Fifty-two records from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database are used to evaluate the proposed method. Sensitivity and positive prediction are used as performance measures. This method detects the R peaks with 100% sensitivity and 99.95% positive prediction. The performance of the proposed method is better than other methods existing in the literature.

Baseline Wandering

The electrocardiogram (ECG) non-invasively monitors the electrical activities of the heart to diagnose the heart-related diseases. The baseline wandering noise affects the diagnosis of the heart diseases. In this paper, the baseline wandering noise removal is done using forward–backward Riemann Liouville (RL) fractional integral-based empirical wavelet transform (EWT) approach. In the designed methodology, firstly, the noisy ECG signal is decomposed into various modes from low to high frequencies. Then, the first mode is processed to remove the baseline wandering noise. The processed EWT mode is filtered by the fractional RL filter used in the forward direction and then in the backward direction for removing the baseline wandering noise from the ECG signal. After that, the processed and the unprocessed modes are used to reconstruct the denoised ECG signal. The clean ECG signal record is taken from MIT-BIH ECG-ID database, and the baseline wandering noise record is taken from the MIT-BIH noise stress test database. The performance of the proposed approach is validated in terms of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR[Formula: see text]). The comparative study has also been done between the proposed denoising approach and the existing state-of-the-art denoising algorithms. The experimental result proves the supremacy of our proposed denoising approach.

In this paper, proposed a new approach of combining the hybrid soft computing technique called Adaptive Symlet Wavelet Transform (ASWT) filter. The baseline wanders (BW) noise removal from an ECG signals to minimize distortion of the S-T segment of the ECG signal specially that have high sampling frequencies. Therefore, when using Symlet Wavelet Transform (SWT) to analysis the ECG signal can cause problems to analysis, exclusively when examining the content of the ECG signal at low-frequency such as S-T segment. The corresponding frequency components of the approximation coefficients at level number seven are (0-3.9) Hz. Since the BW frequency is below 0.5 Hz and ST segment frequency between (0.67-4) Hz. The adaptive filter with a unity reference signal used to remove the BW noise below 0.5 Hz from the lowest level of the approximation coefficient of the decomposed ECG signal. The denoising output from adaptive filter and the output from SWT (the other detail coefficients) will use as an input to ISWT for reconstruction ECG signals with the remove BW signal. This method represents a very effective filter for BW noise removal, as it does not need for any computation process of reference point.

Estimation of Heart Rate Variability Fluctuations by Wavelet TransformTechnique for separate estimation of fast and slow fluctuations in the heart rate signal is developed. The orthogonal dyadic wavelet transform is used to separate the slow heart rate changes in approximation part of decomposition and fast changes in detail parts. Experimental results using the recordings from persons practicing Chi meditation demonstrated the applicability of estimation heart rate fluctuations with the proposed approach.
