Abstract

This paper presents a novel hybrid neural network structure for the classification of the electrocardiogram (ECG) beats. Two feature extraction methods: Fourier and wavelet analyses for ECG beat classification are comparatively investigated in 8 dimensional feature space. Classification performance, training time and the number of nodes of the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and a novel hybrid neural network are comparatively presented. 10 types of ECG beats obtained from the MIT-BIH database and from a real-time ECG measurement system are classified with a success of 97% by using the hybrid neural network structure.
