Identification of Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) of Electrocardiogram using Statistical Tools and Non-Linear Analysis
Non-linear analysis is a useful technique in a medical field specially in cardiac cases. Statistics tools & Non-linear parameters have shown potentiality to the identification of diseases, especially in the analysis of biomedical signals like electrocardiogram (ECG). In this work, premature ventricular contraction (i.e abnormality) in ECG signals has been analysed using various non-linear techniques. First, the ECG signal is processed through a series of steps to extract the QRS complex. From this extracted feature, bit-to-bit interval (BBI) and instantaneous heart rate (IHR) have been calculated.
