Abstract

This study introduces a new method for modeling electrocardiogram (ECG)¹ waveforms using Fractional Differential Equations (FDEs). By incorporating fractional calculus into the well-established McSharry model, the proposed approach achieves improved representation and high precision for a wide range of ECG waveforms. The research focuses on the impact of integrating fractional derivatives into Integer Differential Equation (IDE) models, enhancing the fidelity of ECG signal modeling.

To optimize the model's unknown parameters, a combination of the Predictor-Corrector method for solving FDEs and genetic algorithms for optimization is utilized. The effectiveness of the fractional-order model is assessed through distortion metrics, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the modeling quality.

Comparisons show that the fractional-order model outperforms the traditional McSharry IDE model in modeling quality and compression efficiency. It improves modeling quality by 48.40 % in MSE and compression efficiency by 23.18 % when applied on five beat types of MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. The fractional-order model demonstrates enhanced flexibility while preserving essential McSharry model characteristics, with fractional orders (α) ranging from 0.96 to 0.99 across five beat types.

改进心电图建模的分数微积分整合：麦克沙利模型扩展

本研究介绍了一种利用分数微分方程（FDE）对心电图（ECG）1 波形进行建模的新方法。通过将分数微积分纳入成熟的 McSharry 模型，所提出的方法改进了对各种心电图波形的表示并提高了精度。为了优化模型的未知参数，研究人员结合使用了用于求解 FDE 的预测器-校正器方法和用于优化的遗传算法。比较表明，分数阶模型在建模质量和压缩效率方面优于传统的 McSharry IDE 模型。在应用于 MIT/BIH 心律失常数据库的五种搏动类型时，该模型的 MSE 提高了 48.40%，压缩效率提高了 23.18%。分数阶模型在保留 McSharry 模型基本特征的同时提高了灵活性，五种搏动类型的分数阶 (α)范围从 0.96 到 0.99 不等。
