This paper presents a technique for coronary artery disease (CAD) detection through photoplethysmography (PPG). This work is aimed at developing a non-invasive, inexpensive screening technique suitable for home monitoring. Time domain analysis of PPG signal and its second derivative has been carried out to extract distinguishing features. Support Vector Machine based classifier has been used to classify CAD patients. ICU patient data from MIMIC-II dataset has been used for performance evaluation. Sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 78% has been achieved for the analyzed data.
