Abstract

In this paper the improved symbol entropy algorithm based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was proposed to detect ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). The original symbol entropy arithmetic needed longer time series to distinguish VT and VF by high accuracy while the algorithm we proposed can distinguish VT and VF in shorter time series by high accuracy. Otherwise the execution time of new arithmetic was shorter than original algorithm. The classification accuracy of original arithmetic was 93.5%, and the improved arithmetic was 97.75%. The computer time of feature was 33.32 times less than original.
