Abstract: A method and system for automatically detecting heart sounds. The sound system receives sound data corresponding to beats of the heart. The sound system analyzes the sound data to detect the presence of a heart sound within the beats. The sound system then outputs an indication of the heart sounds that were detected. The sound system may use ECG data to identify various locations (e.g., R peak) within a beat and use those locations to assist in the detection of heart sounds.
Abstract: Algorithms for detecting, sizing and locating old myocardial infarcts by evaluating particular ECG lead data derived from selected ECG leads, where that particular data is presented hierarchically for review and confirmation, and includes selected voltage-amplitude ratios of R/Q and R/S. For a given human subject, the specific hierarchical pattern of lead data to be examined is selected on the basis of predetermined personal and demographic data, and completely in light of various, well-known, so-called confounders and excluders.
