Abstract
A technique of nonlinear analysis- the fractal analysis, is recently having its popularity to many researchers working on nonlinear data for which most mathematical models produce intractable solutions. The term “Fractals” is derived from the Latin wordfractus, the adjectival from offranger, or break. Fractals as a set of fine structure, enough irregularities to be described in traditional geometrical language and fractal dimension is greater than topological dimension. Fractal is a mathematical analysis for characterizing complexity of repeating geometrical patterns at various scale lengths. The analysis is mostly suitable for analyzing data with self-similarity (i.e., data do not depend on time scale). Due to the self-similarity in the Heart’s electrical conduction mechanism and self-affine behavior of heart rate (HR), fractal analysis can be used as an analyzer of HR time series data. The aim of this work is to analysis heart rate variability (HRV) by applying different method to calculate fractal dimension (FD) of instantaneous heart rate (IHR) derived from ECG. The behavioral change of FD will be analyzed with the variation of data length. Based on FD change, the classification of abnormalities are being tried to identify in ECG. These methods will be applied to a large class of long duration data sets and it is expected that the proposed technique will provide a better result by comparison with others to detect the abnormality of ECG signal.
