- Description
- The occlusion of the coronary arteries commonly known as coronary artery disease (CAD) restricts the normal blood circulation required to the heart muscles, thus results in an irreversible myocardial damage or death (myocardial infarction). Clinically, electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed as a primary diagnostic tool to capture these cardiac activities and detect the presence of CAD. However, the use of computer-aided techniques can reduce the visual burden and manual time required for the analysis of complex ECG signals in order to identify the CAD affected subjects from normal ones. Therefore, in this study, a novel computer-aided technique is proposed using 2s of 12 lead ECG signals for the identification of CAD affected patients. Each of the 2s 12 lead ECG signal beats (3791 normal and 12308 CAD ECG signal beats) are implemented with four levels of wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) to obtain various coefficients. Using the fourth-level coefficients obtained for each lead ECG signal beat, new 2s. ECG signal beats are reconstructed. Later, the reconstructed signals are split into two-fold data sets, in which one set is used for acquiring common spatial pattern (CSP) filter and the other for obtaining features vector (vice versa). The obtained features are one by one fed into k-nearest neighbors (KNN) classifier for automated classification. The proposed system yielded maximum average classification results of 99.65% accuracy, 99.64% sensitivity and 99.7% specificity using 10 features. Our proposed algorithm is highly efficient and can be used by the clinicians as an aiding system in their CAD diagnosis, thus, assisting in faster treatment and avoiding the progression of CAD condition.
