Analysis of Feature Parameters and Their Time-Transition for Shockable Arrhythmia and Prediction of the Effect of Electrical Defibrillation

In this paper, we propose a prediction system of the effect of electrical defibrillation. In order to develop the proposed system, we firstly analyze from pre-shock (immediately before defibrillation) ECGs (ElectroCardioGrams) by using Gabor Wavelet Transform, Poincaré plot analysis, Spectral entropy, and feature parameters are extracted by those extracted analysis results, we focus on time-transition feature parameter. Next, effective feature parameters are selected based on $\chi^{2}$ -test. Finally, “Effective” and “Ineffective” for electrical defibrillation are classified by using SVM (Support Vector Machine) with three kernels (Linear, Gaussian, and Polynomial) and regularization. In this way, we shows the effectiveness of the proposed feature extraction methods and prediction system.
