This paper presents automatic ECG arrhythmia classification method using symbolic dynamics through hybrid classifier. The proposed method consists of four steps: pre-processing, data extraction, symbolic time series construction and classification. In the proposed method, initially ECG signals are pre-processed to remove noise. Further, QRS complex is extracted followed by R peak detection. From R peak value, symbolic time series representation is formed. Finally, the symbolic time series is classified using Fuzzy clustering Neural Network (FCNN). To evaluate the proposed method we conducted the experiments on MIT-BIH dataset and compared the results with Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) classifiers. The experimental results reveal that the FCNN classifier outperforms other two classifiers.
