In this study, the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is used to distinguish patients with systolic congestive heart failure (CHF) from patients with diastolic CHF. In the analysis performed, the best accuracy performances of short-term HRV measures are compared. These measures are calculated in four different ways with optional normalization methods of heart rate and data. The nearest neighbor and the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) are used to evaluate the performances in discriminating these two groups. The results point out that using both data and heart rate normalizations enhances the classifier performance. The maximum accuracy is obtained as 96.43% with MLP classifier.
