Abstract

Abstract : Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases threatening human life. In order to accurately distinguish myocardial infarction and have a good interpretability, the classification method that combines rule features and ventricular activity features is proposed in this paper. Specifically, according to the clinical diagnosis rule and the pathological changes of myocardial infarction on the electrocardiogram, the local information extracted from the Q wave, ST segment, and T wave is computed as the rule feature. All samples of the QT segment are extracted as ventricular activity features. Then, in order to reduce the computational complexity of the ventricular activity features, the effects of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) on the extracted ventricular activity features are compared. Combining rule features and ventricular activity features, all the 12 leads features are fused as the ultimate feature vector. Finally, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) is used to identify myocardial infarction, and the overall accuracy rate of 99.86% is obtained on the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) database. This method has a good medical diagnosis basis while improving the accuracy, which is very important for clinical decision-making.
