Abstract :
Clustering and classification of ECG records for four patient classes from the Internet databases by using the Weka system. Patient classes include normal, atrial arrhythmia, supraventricular arrhythmia and CHF. Chaos features are extracted automatically by using the ECG Chaos Extractor platform and recorded in Arff files. The list of features includes: correlation dimension, central tendency measure, spatial filling index and approximate entropy. Both ECG signal files and ECG annotations files are analyzed. The results show that chaos features can successfully cluster and classify the ECG annotations records by using standard and efficient algorithms such as EM and C4.5.
