ANN Based Classification for Heart Defibrillators

These devices are implanted and perform three types of actions: l.monitor the heart 2.to pace the heart 3.to apply high energy/high voltage electric shock 1bey sense the electrical activity of the heart through leads attached to the heart tissue. Two types of sensing are commooly used: Single Chamber: Lead attached to the Right Ventricular Apex (RVA) Dual Chamber: An additional lead is attached to the High Right Atrium (HRA). The actions performed by defibrillators are based on the outcome of a classification procedure based on the heart rhythms of different heart diseases (abnormal rhythms or "arrhythmias").
