Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an irreversible and fatal disease. It necessitates timely and precise diagnosis to slow CAD progression. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram (PCG), conveying abundant disease-related information, are prevalent...
OBJECTIVE: There are few studies evaluating the accuracy of commercially available AI-powered digital auscultation platforms in detecting valvular heart disease (VHD). Therefore, the utility of these systems for diagnosing clinically significant VHD ...

Heart failure (HF) is defined as the inability of the heart to meet body oxygen demand requiring an elevation in left ventricular filling pressures (LVP) to compensate. LVP increase can be assessed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, but this ...
This work investigates whether inclusion of the low-frequency components of heart sounds can increase the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. We standardized the measurement method to minimize changes in si...
The phonocardiogram (PCG) can be used as an affordable way to monitor heart conditions. This study proposes the training and testing of several classifiers based on SVMs (support vector machines), k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbor), and NNs (neural networks) ...

One in every four newborns suffers from congenital heart disease (CHD) that causes defects in the heart structure. The current gold-standard assessment technique, echocardiography, causes delays in the diagnosis owing to the need for experts who vary...
Conversational artificial intelligence involves the ability of computers, voice-enabled devices to interact intelligently with the user through voice. This can be leveraged in heart failure care delivery, benefiting the patients, providers, and payer...
