The Heart Auscultation. From Sound to Graphical

Heart sounds and murmurs have very small amplitude and frequency signals thus make it so difficult to hear without the correct tools. In clinical practice currently, physicians listen to the patient heart sound and murmurs by using the traditional technique as an example mechanical stethoscope which having low accuracy and could lead to the false diagnosis. Moreover, conventional method has no ability to record the sound measured. Worst still it is totally depending on the physician’s skills and experienced which this ability is decreased over time. This issue is highly important in early detection of heart sound abnormal. The stereo heart auscultation purposed in this research is to provide solutions rise from conventional technique. Furthermore, the sound signals produced from heart will be converted to the real-time graphically presented with time-frequency analysis, which provides more information about the heart conditions by sound produced. The system compromise hardware such as electrical transducer, electronic circuit, data-acquisition device, computer and also software for signal visualization or imaging. Database of heart sound and murmurs use to validate the developmental system replacing true patients. It has been demonstrated, in preliminary result, that heart sound classification according to on types of a valve problem such as aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, aortic stenosis and pulmonic stenosis could be differentiated using the development measurement system
