Support Vector Method with Radial Basis Function and Multi-Segment of Electrocardiogram for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Recognition

Nuryani Nuryani

Abstract

Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation (PAF) is a heart problem relating to irregular and rapid beating of the heart atria. It has risk of stroke and is independently associated with risk of mortality. Early information of PAF episode is important for a patient to have appropriate treatment to reduce atrial fibrillation complications. This article presents a new strategy to detect PAF with base of statistical electrocardiographic features and a support vector machine (SVM). R-peak series of electrocardiogram were segmented and were extracted to find the statistics of RR intervals. Different approaches in relation with the segmentation were investigated. Two-class SVM with radial basis function (RBF) and the statistics of RR intervals were examined for PAF detection. Using clinical data of patients with PAF, the proposed strategy showed excellent performance of 99.17% in terms of accuracy. The experimental result indicated that the appropriate statistics of RR intervals and SVM-RBF with its suitable parameters can perform well for PAF detection.
