Abstract

Early diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) could be benefited from automatic analysis of a short single-lead ECG recording that can be collected easily by a portable device. Due to the limitations of both quantity and quality of the signal, it is challenging to distinguish AF from a broad taxonomy of rhythms. This paper presents a new method which classifies the recordings of single lead ECGs by combined time and time-frequency features. The time features of a recording are represented by some characteristics of its RR intervals and Poincare plot, while the time-frequency features are extracted from its representative beat waveforms by Matching Pursuits algorithm. A set of methods are adopted in the process to eliminate the effects of noise. With the features extracted, a hierarchical classifier is trained based on the CinC Challenge 2017 dataset to classify the recordings into four classes: normal sinus rhythm, AF, other rhythm and too noisy to classify. The final score of our work in the CinC Challenge 2017 is 0.78.
