Developing neural network model for predicting cardiac and cardiovascular health using bioelectrical signal processing.

Coronary vascular disease (CHD) is one of the most fatal diseases worldwide. Cardio vascular diseases are not easily diagnosed in early disease stages. Early diagnosis is important for effective treatment, however, medical diagnoses are based on physician's personal experiences of the disease which increase time and testing cost to reach diagnosis. Physicians assess patients' condition based on electrocardiography, sonography and blood test results. In this research we develop classification model of the functional state of the cardiovascular system based on the monitoring of the evolution of the amplitudes of the first and second harmonics of the system rhythm of 0.1 Hz. We separate the signal to three streams; the first stream works with natural electro cardio signal, the other two streams are obtained as a result of frequency analysis of the amplitude- and frequency-detected electro cardio signal. We use sliding window of a demodulated electro cardio signal by means of amplitude and frequency detectors. The developed NN model showed an increase in accuracy of diagnostic efficiency by 11%. The neural network model can be trained to give accurate early detection of disease class.
