Automated Ecg Analysis For Localizing Thrombus In Culprit Artery Using Rule Based Information Fuzzy Network

Cardio-vascular diseases are one of the foremost causes of mortality in today's world. The prognosis for cardiovascular diseases is usually done by ECG signal, which is a simple 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) that gives complete information about the function of the heart including the amplitude and time interval of P-QRS-T-U segment. This article recommends a novel approach to identify the location of thrombus in culprit artery using the Information Fuzzy Network (IFN). Information Fuzzy Network, being a supervised machine learning technique, takes known evidences based on rules to create a predicted classification model with thrombus location obtained from the vast input ECG data. These rules are well-defined procedures for selecting hypothesis that best fits a set of observations. Results illustrate that the recommended approach yields an accurateness of 92.30%. This novel approach is shown to be a viable ECG analysis approach for identifying the culprit artery and thus localizing the thrombus.
