Electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram (PCG) have emerged as crucial non-invasive and portable diagnostic modalities for early cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening. Despite the individual merits of these signal modalities in CVD detection, sig...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading global health challenge, necessitating diagnostic solutions that combine high accuracy with clinical interpretability and reproducibility. Traditional auscultation methods rely extensively on clinician ...
The combined analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram signals(PCG) has demonstrated significant potential in the non-invasive detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). The efficacy of combining cardiac pathological parameters such as...

BACKGROUND: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-pro-BNP) are key biomarkers used for heart failure (HF) management. Although traditional auscultation lacks objective evaluation, the SSS01-series phonocardiogram enables rapid r...
BACKGROUND: Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents the most prevalent cardiac disorder in dogs, frequently resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR) and congestive heart failure. Although echocardiography is the gold standard for diagnosis, i...
Cardiac auscultation requires the mechanical vibrations occurring on the body's surface, which carries a range of sound frequencies. These sounds are generated by the movement and pulsation of different cardiac structures as they facilitate blood cir...
A heart murmur is an atypical sound produced by blood flow through the heart. It can indicate a serious heart condition, so detecting heart murmurs is critical for identifying and managing cardiovascular diseases. However, current methods for identif...
Cardiovascular diseases are non-communicable diseases that are considered the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for 17.9Â million fatalities. Auscultation of heart sounds is the most common and valuable way of diagnosing heart diseases. Norm...
Assessing fetal health traditionally involves techniques like echocardiography, which require skilled professionals and specialized equipment, making them unsuitable for low-resource settings. An emerging alternative is Phonocardiography (PCG), which...
Detection and classification of cardiovascular diseases are crucial for early diagnosis and prediction of heart-related conditions. Existing methods rely on either electrocardiogram or phonocardiogram signals, resulting in higher false positive rates...
