Cardiac arrhythmia is an illness in which a heartbeat is erratic, either too slow or too rapid. It happens as a result of faulty electrical impulses that coordinate the heartbeats. Sudden cardiac death can occur as a result of certain serious arrhythmia disorders. As a result, the primary goal of electrocardiogram (ECG) investigation is to reliably perceive arrhythmias as life-threatening to provide a suitable therapy and save lives. ECG signals are waveforms that denote the electrical movement of the human heart (P, QRS, and T). The duration, structure, and distances between various peaks of each waveform are utilized to identify heart problems. The signals’ autoregressive (AR) analysis is then used to obtain a specific selection of signal features, the parameters of the AR signal model. Groups of retrieved AR characteristics for three various ECG kinds are cleanly separated in the training dataset, providing high connection classification and heart problem diagnosis to each ECG signal within the training dataset. A new technique based on two-event-related moving averages (TERMAs) and fractional Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms is suggested to better evaluate ECG signals. This study could help researchers examine the current state-of-the-art approaches employed in the detection of arrhythmia situations. The characteristic of our suggested machine learning approach is cross-database training and testing with improved characteristics.
