Rheumatic Heart Disease Classification Using Adaptive Filters

An efficient and innovative method has been proposed in this paper to detect heart murmurs as a method to identify rheumatic fever with the use of adaptive filters, transform techniques and Neural Network Algorithms by considering various parameters such as number of peaks, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Power Spectral Density. Under optimum conditions the classification returned exact outputs even when the neural network was trained under false positive data thus showing its effectiveness
