This paper deals with improved ECG signal analysis using Wavelet Transform Techniques and employing
subsequent modified feature extraction for Arrhythmia detection based on Neuro-Fuzzy technique. This improvement is
based on suitable choice of features in evaluating and predicting life threatening Ventricular Arrhythmia . Analyzing
electrocardiographic signals (ECG) includes not only inspection of P, QRS and T waves, but also the causal relations
they have and the temporal sequences they build within long observation periods. Wavelet-transform is used for effective
feature extraction and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is considered for the classifier model. In a first
step, QRS complexes are detected. Then, each QRS is delineated by detecting and identifying the peaks of the individual
waves, as well as the complex onset and end. Finally, the determination of P and T wave peaks, onsets and ends is
performed. We evaluated the algorithm on several manually annotated databases, such as MIT-BIH Arrhythmia and CSE
databases, developed for validation purposes. Features based on the ECG waveform shape and heart beat intervals are
used as inputs to the classifiers. The performance of the ANFIS model is evaluated in terms of training performance and
classification accuracies and the results confirmed that the proposed ANFIS model has potential in classifying the ECG
signals. Cross validation is used to measure the classifier performance. A testing classification accuracy of 95.13% is
achieved which is a significant improvement.
