In this paper we propose a novel method for accurate classification of cardiac arrhythmias. Morphological and statistical features of individual heartbeats are used to train a classifier. Two RR interval features as the exemplars of time-domain information are utilized in this study. Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) with an enhanced expectation maximization (EM) solution is used to fit the probability density function of heartbeats. Parameters of GMM together with shape parameters such as skewness, kurtosis and 5th moment are also included in feature vector. These features are then used to train an ensemble of decision trees. MIT-BIH arrhythmia database containing various types of common arrhythmias is employed to test the algorithm. The overall accuracy of 99.70% in class-oriented scheme and 96.15% in subject-oriented scheme is achieved. Both cases express a significant improvement of accuracy compared to other methods.
