... of sounds is suboptimal (20–40%). Technological advances have paralleled an increase in referral for Doppler echocardiography and a decrease in auscultatory skill. An increase in the referral of functionally innocent heart murmurs has contributed to the increasing cost of care. A computer-aided analysis has...

..., orifice area, and regurgitant area. Echocardiography, the standard clinical imaging modality, was used to determine the hemodynamic performance of the valve. Additionally, ECG and left chamber pressures were recorded at a sample rate of 5 kHz. Prolapse of the P2 region was consistently created, and edge...

... to determine heart pathology from auscultation based heart sounds. The Quadratic Model shows 100% separation between N and AS data when S1 and S2 are properly segmented and re-sampled. When systole is isolated as the decision making attribute, separation increases by a hundred–fold. echocardiography...
