Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) stand as the leading cause of global mortality, claiming millions of lives annually. An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the heart's electrical activity based on the Internet of Things (IoT), crucial in detecting cardiac arrhythmias (CA), characterized by irregular heart rates and rhythms. Signals from the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Physio net database are analyzed. This chapter aims to propose a hybrid approach merging Genetic Algorithm-Support Vector Machine (GSVM) and Particle Swarm Optimization-Support Vector Machine (PSVM) for CA classification. The study introduces an algorithm for categorizing ECG beats into six groups using Independent Component Analysis (ICA)-derived features. Optimal SVM settings are determined using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) on ICA features computed via non-parametric power spectral estimation. The research delves into the origins and methodologies of GA and PSO. Simulation results comparing GSVM and PSVM are presented, emphasizing PSVM's superior performance in accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictivity. Detailed performance metrics, including Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictivity, and Accuracy percentages, are scrutinized and compared against the top classifier. The findings endorse PSVM's superiority over GSVM, indicating enhanced performance across multiple evaluation criteria.
