Identification of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) using Modified Wavelet Transform

Electro Cardiogram (ECG) is used to measure and diagnose electrical activity of heart. R peak detection from ECG signal is our main goal. It is the basic mark for identification of different arrhythmias. In this paper, R wave extraction is performed by using Wavelet Transform for the identification of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a global health issue. Analysis revealed that millions of people all around the world die as the result of SCD. We need to purpose a suitable and accurate method for its identification. Modified Wavelet Transform method is used for the extraction of R peaks from ECG signal and then RR interval is extracted from ECG signal with the help of MATLAB software to identify SCA. Here a brief comparison is performed to identify SCA patient with Normal Patient. The MIT BIH database has been utilized for evaluating the algorithm.
