The wavelet transform, which is a new time-scale technique suitable for transient signal detection is applied to phonocardiogram signals taken from group of patients. It has been shown that using this new technique the separation between normal and abnormal subject could easily be obtained. Moreover, a separation between the high frequency systolic and diastolic murmurs, and the low frequency systolic and diastolic murmurs can be achieved. Furthermore, the temporal location of the auscultatory gap can be detected, which is usually very difficult to dicem even to the trained ear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
