Heart murmurs are a common manifestation of cardiovascular diseases and can provide crucial clues to early cardiac abnormalities. While most current research methods primarily focus on the accuracy of models, they often overlook other…
Large language models (LLMs) for audio have excelled in recognizing and analyzing human speech, music, and environmental sounds. However, their potential for understanding other types of sounds, particularly biomedical sounds, remains…
Early and reliable detection of heart murmurs is essential for the timely diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, yet traditional auscultation remains subjective and dependent on expert interpretation. This work investigates artificial…
A heart murmur is an atypical sound produced by the flow of blood through the heart. It can be a sign of a serious heart condition, so detecting heart murmurs is critical for identifying and managing cardiovascular diseases. However,…
This study presents our team PathToMyHeart's contribution to the George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2022. Two models are implemented. The first model is a Dual Bayesian ResNet (DBRes), where each patient's recording is segmented into…
Systolic murmurs are extra heart sounds that occur during the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle, often indicating heart abnormalities caused by turbulent blood flow. Their intensity, pitch, and quality vary, requiring precise…
Cardiovascular disease (CD) is the number one leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 17 million deaths in 2015. Critical indicators of CD include heart murmurs, intense sounds emitted by the heart during periods of…
Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the leading cause of death in the world, and auscultation is typically an essential part of a cardiovascular examination. The ability to diagnose a patient based on their heart sounds is a rather difficult…
Cardiac auscultation is an essential point-of-care method used for the early diagnosis of heart diseases. Automatic analysis of heart sounds for abnormality detection is faced with the challenges of additive noise and sensor-dependent…
