Abstract

Biological signals can be classified according to its various characteristics like waveform shape, statistical structure and temporal properties. Among various bioelectric signals, one of the most familiar signal is the ECG. It is a signal derived from the electrical activity of the heart. The heart is an important organ which supplies body with oxygen. ECG is widely used in monitoring the health condition of the human. Cardiac arrhythmias can affect electrical system of the heart muscles and cause abnormal heart rhythms that can lead to insufficient pumping of blood and death risks. An important step towards identifying an arrhythmia is the classification of heartbeats. Modern analysis of electrical activity of the heart uses simple as well as sophisticated algorithms of digital signal processing. With the advent of technology, automatic classification of electrocardiogram signals through human-computer interactive systems has received great attention. This chapter discusses some computer assisted classification techniques based on statistical features extracted from ECG signal.
