OBJECTIVE: This paper proposes a novel framework for the segmentation of phonocardiogram (PCG) signals into heart states, exploiting the temporal evolution of the PCG as well as considering the salient information that it provides for the detection o...
Cardiovascular pathologies cause 23.5% of human deaths, worldwide. An auto-diagnostic system monitoring heart activity, which can identify the early symptoms of cardiac illnesses, might reduce the death rate caused by these problems. Phonocardiograph...

OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we accurately detect the state-sequence first heart sound (S1)-systole-second heart sound (S2)-diastole, i.e., the positions of S1 and S2, in heart sound recordings. We propose an event detection approach without explicitly ...
UNLABELLED: Intensive care unit patients are heavily monitored, and several clinically-relevant parameters are routinely extracted from high resolution signals.
OBJECTIVE: This paper builds upon work submitted as part of the 2016 PhysioNet/CinC Challenge, which used sparse coding as a feature extraction tool on audio PCG data for heart sound classification.
This paper presents a novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological murmurs using the growing time support vector machine (GTSVM). The proposed method is tailored for characterizing innocent murmurs (IM) by putting more emphasis o...
