Abstract

The types of myocardial ischemia can be revealed by electrocardiographic (ECG) ST segment. Effective measurement and electrocardiographic analysis of ST as well as calculation of displacement and shape change of ST segment can help doctors diagnose coronary heart disease and myocardial ischemia, especially for asymptomatic myocardial ischemia. Therefore, it is a very important subject in clinical practice to measure and classify the ECG ST segment. In this paper, we introduce a computerized automatic identification method of the electrocardiographic ST segment shape with radial basis function neural network based on adaptive fuzzy system, which has a better effect than other methods. It helps to analyze the reason of the ST segment change and confirm the position of myocardial ischemia, and is useful for doctor diagnosis.
