Abstract

Heart valve disorders are primarily detected by auscultation, technique of listening to heart sounds. A more modern form of this technique is phonocardiography, concerned with the automated acoustic recording and processing of heart sounds.This paper presents a method that aims at development of an algorithm to detect common heart valve disorders by processing heart sounds and provision of easy access to patient data via the Internet. The proposed method uses thresholding techniques to determine certain criteria which can detect whether a heart sound recording belongs to a person suffering from valvular heart disease or not, by giving ‘diseased' or ‘not diseased' decisions (S. Ari, K. Sensharma, G. Saha, 2008). The recording in case of a ‘diseased' condition is transmitted to the hospital information system via the Internet, wherein it can be further analyzed by a doctor to diagnose the disease.
