On-line heart beat recognition using Hermite polynomials and neuro-fuzzy network

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy approach to the recognition and classification of heart rhythms on the basis of ECG waveforms. The important part in recognition fulfills the Hermite characterization of the QRS complexes. The Hermite coefficients serve as the features of the process. These features are applied to a fuzzy neural network for recognition. The results of numerical experiments have confirmed very good performance of such a solution.
