A Review of Structural Features of the Equine Athlete’s Heart: Is a Large Heart an Advantage for Racing Success?
نویسنده
چکیده
Athlete’s heart is a term adapted from human medicine. It describes cardiac changes induced by prolonged and intensive training in the equine athlete. The size of the heart can be measured by echocardiography, and research has shown that size of the left ventricle is significantly correlated with athletic performance in both Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds.

Automatic classification of normal and abnormal cardiac sounds by combining features based on wavelet transform and capstral coefficients extracted from PCG signals (Research Article)
Cardiac sounds are produced by the mechanical activities of the heart and provide useful information about the function of the heart valves. Due to the transient and unstable nature of the heart's sound and the limitation of the human hearing system, it is difficult to categorize heart sound signals based on what is heard from a stethoscope. Therefore, providing an automated algorithm for prima...

The heart is one of the most important organs in the body, which is responsible for pumping blood into the valvular systems. Beside, heart valve disorders are one of the leading causes of death in the world. These disorders are complications in the heart valves that cause the valves to deform or damage, and as a result, the sounds caused by their opening and closing compared to a healthy heart....
