Abstract

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most effective instrument for making decisions about various forms of heart disease. As a result, several researchers have focused on the ECG signal to extract the features of heartbeats with high precision and efficiency. This article offers a hybrid approach to classifying different cardiac conditions using the Feed Forward Back Propagation Neural Network (FFBPNN), by providing a pre-processed ECG signal as an excitation. The modified ECG signal is obtained through the combination of EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) and DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform). In this proposed method, the input signal is first decomposed into the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF's) and the first three IMF's are combined to obtain a modified partially denoted ECG sample and then DWT is used to obtain an improved denoised signal. This pre-processed signal is classified using the Neural Network architecture. For the EMD approach, the ECG-based EMD-DWT signal provides improved classification accuracy of 67, 0762 percent, 90, 4305 percent for the DWT approach, and 95,0797 percent for the proposed technique. The methodology is applied to the MIT-BIH database and, in terms of classification accuracy, is found to be higher than the different methodologies.
