Abstract Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is caused by lethal arrhythmia. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) are amenable to defibrillation or electrical shock therapy (‘‘shockable’’ arrhythmia) that can abolish the VF/VT and restore normal electrical and mechanical heart function. The challenge is to differentiate between shockable and non-shockable arrhythmia during the emergency response to SCD. When it comes to saving the life, accurate electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnosis and fast delivery of appropriate treatment is imperative. Automated systems to differentiate shockable from nonshockable arrhythmia have been developed to overcome the difficulty, and possible errors due to the manual inspection. In the present work, we have devised an efficient, effective and robust automated system to detect shockable and nonshockable arrhythmia using an optimal wavelet-based features extracted from ECG epochs of 2 s durations. We employed optimal two-channel frequency selective orthogonal wavelet filter bank to diagnose shockable ventricular arrhythmia. The optimization was carried out by minimizing the stop band ripple energy of the wavelet filter. The optimal orthogonal wavelet filter has been designed using a semi-definite programming (SDP) formulation without the use of any parameterization. The SDP solution gave us the desired optimal orthogonal wavelet filter bank with minimum stop band energy and the desired degree of regularity for the given length of filter. Fuzzy entropy and Renyi entropy features were extracted from the 2-s ECG epochs. These extracted features were then fed into the classifiers for discrimination of shockable arrhythmia rhythms and non-shockable arrhythmia rhythms. The best results were obtained from support vector machine. Accuracy of 97.8%, sensitivity of 93.42%, and specificity of 98.35% were obtained using a tenfold cross validation scheme. The developed automated system is accurate and robust; therefore, it can be integrated in automated external defibrillators that can be deployed for hospitals as well as out-of-hospital emergency resuscitation of SCD.
