Description
Summary:Arrhythmia is one of the most common abnormal symptoms that can threaten human life. In order to distinguish arrhythmia more accurately, the classification strategy of the multifeature combination and Stacking-DWKNN algorithm is proposed in this paper. The method consists of four modules. In the preprocessing module, the signal is denoised and segmented. Then, multiple different features are extracted based on single heartbeat morphology, P length, QRS length, T length, PR interval, ST segment, QT interval, RR interval, R amplitude, and T amplitude. Subsequently, the features are combined and normalized, and the effect of different feature combinations on heartbeat classification is analyzed to select the optimal feature combination. Finally, the four types of normal and abnormal heartbeats were identified using the Stacking-DWKNN algorithm. This method is performed on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The result shows a sensitivity of 89.42% and a positive predictive value of 94.90% of S-type beats and a sensitivity of 97.21% and a positive predictive value of 97.07% of V-type beats. The obtained average accuracy is 99.01%. Compared to other models with the same features, this method can improve accuracy and has a higher positive predictive value and sensitivity, which is important for clinical decision-making.
