Spectral Analysis of the Heart Sounds for Medical Diagnosis

چکیده
Cardiovasculary diseases are affecting a constantly growing number of people. Due to this reason we are continously looking for new ways of investigations. The processing of the heart’s audio signals also belong to this category. Heart sound is an acoustic wave generated by the mechanical movement of the heart and blood. The sounds can be divided into normal heart sounds and heart murmurs. Murmurs are abnormal signals that appear over wider ranges of frequency than normal heart sounds. The auscultation is a very effective method in detecting heart diseases. Along this paper the authors present the results of the combined time-frequency analysis for short-time periods applied to cardiac signals useful for diagnosis in medical practice. Key-Words: Heart sound, signal processing, Wigner-Ville distribution, spectral analyse, automated diagnosis.

Determining the effective features in classification of heart sounds using trained intelligent network and genetic algorithm
Heart diseases are among the most important causes of mortality in the world, especially in industrial countries. Using heart sounds and the features extracted from them are among the non-aggressive diagnosis and prognosis methods for heart diseases. In this study, the time-scale, Cepstral, frequency, temporal and turbulence features are saved and extracted from the heart sounds, and then they ...
متن کاملAutomatic 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...
متن کاملA Hybrid Model of Heart Anomalies Detection by Processing Heart Sounds
Introduction: Different factors are effective in detecting heart abnormalities. The greater the number of these factors, the greater the uncertainty in the detection of heart abnormalities. In the uncertainty condition in response of prediction model, the fuzzy systems are one of the most effective methods for generating an acceptable response. Method: In this applied study, 3240 records rela...

© 2015 ETRI Journal, Volume 37, Number 4, August 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.15.0114.1447 Heart sounds are the main obstacle in lung sound analysis. To tackle this obstacle, we propose a diagnosis algorithm that uses singular spectrum analysis (SSA) and frequency features of heart and lung sounds. In particular, we introduce a frequency coefficient that shows the frequency difference b...
