Heart Sound Signal

Adults born after 1970s are more prone to cardiovascular diseases. Death rate percentage is quite high due to heart related diseases. Therefore, there is necessity to enquire the problem or detection of heart diseases earlier for their proper treatment. As, Valvular heart disease, that is, stenosis and regurgitation of heart valve, are also a major cause of heart failure; which can be diagnosed at early-stage by detection and analysis of heart sound signal, that is, HS signal. In this proposed work, an attempt has been made to detect and localize the major heart sounds, that is, S1 and S2. The work in this article consists of three parts. Firstly, self-acquisition of Phonocardiogram (PCG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal through a self-assembled, data-acquisition set-up. The Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal is acquired from all the four auscultation areas, that is, Aortic, Pulmonic, Tricuspid and Mitral on human chest, using electronic stethoscope. Secondly, the major heart sounds, that is, S1 and S2are detected using 3rd Order Normalized Average Shannon energy Envelope (3rd Order NASE) Algorithm. Further, an auto-thresholding has been used to localize time gates of S1 and S2 and that of R-peaks of simultaneously recorded ECG signal. In third part; the successful detection rate of S1 and S2, from self-acquired PCG signals is computed and compared. A total of 280 samples from same subjects as well as from different subjects (of age group 15–30 years) have been taken in which 70 samples are taken from each auscultation area of human chest. Moreover, simultaneous recording of ECG has also been performed. It was analyzed and observed that detection and localization of S1 and S2 found 74% successful for the self-acquired heart sound signal, if the heart sound data is recorded from pulmonic position of Human chest. The success rate could be much higher, if standard data base of heart sound signal would be used for the same analysis method. The, remaining three auscultations areas, that is, Aortic, Tricuspid, and Mitral have smaller success rate of detection of S1 and S2 from self-acquired PCG signals. So, this work justifies that the Pulmonic position of heart is most suitable auscultation area for acquiring PCG signal for detection and localization of S1 and S2 much accurately and for analysis purpose.

Heart Sound Signal

The main objective is to develop a novel method for the heart sound analysis for the detection of cardiovascular diseases. It can be considered as one of the important phases in the automated analysis of PCG signals. Heart sounds carry information about mechanical activity of the cardiovascular system. This information includes specific physiological state of the subject and the short term variability related to the respiratory cycle. The interpretation of sounds and extraction of changes in the physiological state while maintaining the short term variability are still an open problem and is subject of this paper. The system deals with the process of de-noising of the heart sound signal(PCG) and the signal is decomposed into several sub-bands and the de-noised heart sound signal is segmented into the basic heart sounds S1 and S2, along with the systolic and diastolic interval.. Also, the ECG signal is de-noised. Meanwhile, the R-peaks are identified from the ECG signal and RR interval is obtained. Extraction of features are done from both the heart sound signal and the ECG signal. From the features, the R-peaks are identified from the ECG signal and RR interval is obtained. The attribute selection is to find the best attribute values that can be used for the classification process. Finally, using classification technique, cardiac diseases are detected. This work is implemented by using MATLAB software.

Heart Sound Signal

The heart sound signal is one of the signals that reflect the health of the heart. Research on the heart sound signal contributes to the early diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. As a commonly used deep learning network, convolutional neural network (CNN) has been widely used in images. In this paper, the method of analyzing heart sound through using CNN has been studied. Firstly, the original data set was preprocessed, and then the heart sounds were segmented on U-net, based on the deep CNN. Finally, the classification of heart sounds was completed through CNN. The data from 2016 PhysioNet/CinC Challenge was utilized for algorithm validation, and the following results were obtained. When the heart sound segmented, the overall accuracy rate was 0.991, the accuracy of the first heart sound was 0.991, the accuracy of the systolic period was 0.996, the accuracy of the second heart sound was 0.996, and the accuracy of the diastolic period was 0.997, and the average accuracy rate was 0.995; While in classification, the accuracy was 0.964, the sensitivity was 0.781, and the specificity was 0.873. These results show that deep learning based on CNN shows good performance in the segmentation and classification of the heart sound signal.

Heart Sound Signal

In the previous studies of heart sounds, the calculation model of small waveform is often used, and new waveform graph is formed through the decomposition and restructuring of small waveform so as to remove the noise from the new waveform. There are a lot of shortcomings in the use of such a method. The features of new waveform are difficult to be controlled, and thus the noise generated by the wave and the interference of wave will be disturbed by the filter to certain degree. In this paper, the integrated filtering algorithm is introduced, and a wave can be used in the studied use of small waveform, and also the high-order algorithm in mathematics is used, so that the frequency is controlled in a certain range, the frequency of heart sounds to be interfered is effectively reduced, and also the harmonic harm generated by the waveform is considered. After the signal sources are protected with some technologies, the effect of filtering and denoising is eventually achieved.
