We present a Matlab framework for heart sound processing and analysis. This framework includes algorithms developed for segmentation of the main heart sound components capable of handling situations with high-grade murmur, and for measuring systolic time intervals (STI). Methods for cardiac function parameter extraction based on STI are also included. Currently, the proposed algorithms are being extended...
In this work, we propose a two-stage classifier based on the analysis of the heart sound's complexity for murmur identification and classification. The first stage of the classifier verifies if the heart sound (HS) exhibits murmurs. To this end, the chaotic nature of the signal is assessed using the Lyapunov exponents (LEs). The second stage of the method is devoted to the classification of the type...
Heart sounds entail crucial heart function information. In conditions of heart abnormalities, such as valve dysfunctions and rapid blood flow, additional sounds are heard in regular heart sounds, which can be employed in pathology diagnosis. These additional sounds, or so-called murmurs, show different characteristics with respect to cardiovascular heart diseases, namely heart valve disorders. In...
