The electronic stethoscope [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2015 Abstract Most heart diseases are associated with and reflected by the sounds that the heart produces. Heart auscultation, defined as listening to the heart sound, has been a very important method for the early diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction. Traditional auscultation requires substantial clinical experience and good listening skills.

Electronic Stethoscope Filtering Mimics the Perceived Sound Characteristics of Acoustic Stethoscope
IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2021 Electronic stethoscopes offer several advantages over conventional acoustic stethoscopes, including noise reduction, increased amplification, and ability to store and transmit sounds. However, the acoustical characteristics of electronic and acoustic stethoscopes can differ significantly, introducing a barrier for clinicians to transition to electronic
