Spectral analysis of heart valve sound for detection of prosthetic heart valve diseases
Yonsei Medical Journal, 1998 The spectral analysis of heart valve sound is a noninvasive diagnostic method known to be useful in evaluating the state of the heart valve function. This may provide early detection of valve calcification, thrombus or destruction, since previous studies have shown that the dominant frequency peak moved to a high frequency area when natural heart valve
