A Classification System to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Second-Order Difference Plot of RR Intervals

A classification system to detect congestive heart failure (CHF) patients from normal (N) patients is described. The classification procedure uses the k-nearest neighbor algorithm and uses features from the second-order difference plot (SODP) obtained from Holter monitor cardiac RR intervals. The cl...
