Abstract

ST segment morphology is closely related to cardiovascular disease. It is used not only for characterizing different diseases, but also for predicting the severity of the disease. However, the short duration, low energy, variable morphology and interference from various noises make ST segment morphology classification a difficult task. In this paper, we address the problems of single feature extraction and low classification accuracy of ST segment morphology classification, and use the gradient of ST surface to improve the accuracy of ST segment morphology multi-classification. In this paper, we identify five ST segment morphologies: normal, upward-sloping elevation, arch-back elevation, horizontal depression, and arch-back depression. Firstly, we select an ST segment candidate segment according to the QRS wave group location and medical statistical law. Secondly, we extract ST segment area, mean value, difference with reference baseline, slope, and mean squared error features. In addition, the ST segment is converted into a surface, the gradient features of the ST surface are extracted, and the morphological features are formed into a feature vector. Finally, the support vector machine is used to classify the ST segment, and then the ST segment morphology is multi-classified. The MIT-Beth Israel Hospital Database (MITDB) and the European ST-T database (EDB) were used as data sources to validate the algorithm in this paper, and the results showed that the algorithm in this paper achieved an average recognition rate of 97.79% and 95.60%, respectively, in the process of ST segment recognition. Based on the results of this paper, it is expected that this method can be introduced in the clinical setting in the future to provide morphological guidance for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in the clinic and improve the diagnostic efficiency.
