The Evolving Stethoscope: Insights Derived from Studying Phonocardiography in Trainees [PDF]
SensorsPhonocardiography (PCG) is used as an adjunct to teach cardiac auscultation and is now a function of PCG-capable stethoscopes (PCS). To evaluate the efficacy of PCG and PCS, the authors investigated the impact of providing PCG data and PCSs on how ...

Systolic third sound associated with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve in cats with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023 Background Third heart sounds in cats frequently are associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) but their exact characterization and timing within the cardiac cycle remains unknown.

Phonocardiography based pulse wave velocity system for non-occlusive assessment of arterial stiffness [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineArterial stiffness is strongly associated with vascular aging and pathology and can be assessed in many ways. Existing devices for measuring central arterial stiffness, such as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), are limited by high costs and the ...

Acquisition Devices for Fetal Phonocardiography: A Scoping Review [PDF]
BioengineeringTimely and reliable fetal monitoring is crucial to prevent adverse events during pregnancy and delivery. Fetal phonocardiography, i.e., the recording of fetal heart sounds, is emerging as a novel possibility to monitor fetal health status. Indeed, due to

A Novel Method for ECG-Free Heart Sound Segmentation in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Disease [PDF]
SensorsSevere aortic valve diseases (AVD) cause changes in heart sounds, making phonocardiogram (PCG) analyses challenging. This study presents a novel method for segmenting heart sounds without relying on an electrocardiogram (ECG), specifically targeting ...

Diagnostic performance of coronary artery disease prediction model (CAD-score system) based on phonocardiogram: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineIntroductionPre-test probability stratification of individuals with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) has remained suboptimal for many years. Consequently, the majority of diagnostic tests used to rule out CAD exhibit normal results. An

Novel phonocardiography system for heartbeat detection from various locations [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The paper presents evaluation of the proposed phonocardiography (PCG) measurement system designed primarily for heartbeat detection to estimate heart rate (HR). Typically, HR estimation is performed using electrocardiography (ECG) or pulse wave as one of
