Historical elements that suggest pathology include family history of sudden cardiac death or congenital heart disease, in utero exposure to certain medications or alcohol, maternal diabetes mellitus, history of rheumatic fever...

• A number of investigators" have recently studied liow heart sounds and murmurs spread through the various tissues of men and dogs. For instance, Magri et al. studied the transmission of heart sounds over the surface of the exposed human heart. Ken and Harp, Iverr et al. and ourselves"' investigated the velocity and the damping with which sound is transmitted through arteries, and showed that ...

AIM To determine the prevalence and clinical significance of murmurs detected during routine neonatal examination. METHODS In a two year prospective study, 7204 newborn babies underwent routine examination by senior house officers. All those with murmurs underwent echocardiographic examination.

Cardiac murmur is frequently recognized in healthy children, but it can also be the presenting feature in many forms of congenital heart disease, including regurgitation or stenosis of heart valves or left-to-right shunt lesions at the atrial, ventricular, or great arterial levels. Careful examination reveals innocent systolic murmurs in as many as 72% of all school-age children [1]. A high pre...

Abstract Auscultation methods enable non-invasive diagnosis of diseases, e.g. the heart, based on heartbeat sounds. Regular, early examinations using machine learning techniques could help to detect diseases at an stage prevent serious health conditions and then provide optimal therapy through continuous monitoring. There is already a lot work human data AI algorithms patterns in signals or ima...

BACKGROUND: Determining the clinical significance of cardiac murmurs is widely considered in equine practice. Pulmonary murmurs are commonly detected in athletic horses. Echocardiography plays a leading role in assessment of these murmurs. OBJECTIVES: Echocardiographic evaluation of horses with pulmonary regurgitation and determining the importance of pulmonary valve murmurs. METHODS: A total n...
