ABSTRACT
The degree of complexity associated with the dynamics of the human heart is different for different categories of cardiac abnormalities. A quantitative measure of the complexities associated with cardiac dynamics can be obtained with a nonlinear study like a Multifractal analysis of the electrocardiogram signals. Here in this work, we have modeled the heart as a nonlinear dynamical system and obtained its phase space structure or embedded attractor reconstructed out of the ECG time series corresponding to four channels. Then, studied the multifractal behavior of the embedded attractor in order to quantify the degree of complexities associated with the dynamics of the heart. In particular, we have derived a few parameters out of the multifractal singularity spectrum and used them as a discriminative measure between various kinds of cardiac conditions. We have demonstrated a gradient boosting-based parametric classification model to discriminate between different kinds of arrhythmias and normal sinus rhythms. This work achieves considerably high accuracy in classifying different variants of cardiac disorders when trained with the parameters obtained from the multifractal singularity spectrum associated with the embedded attractor reconstructed out of the ECG time series.
