Abstract: | Phonocardiography, the analysis of heart sounds, is a noninvasive diagnostic method useful in studying heart valve function. Phonocardiograms (PCG's) of porcine prosthetic heart valves in the aortic position were analyzed by a parametric signal modeling method in order to derive frequency domain features suitable for the classification of the valve state. |
