Abstract Monitoring blood pressure is a critical aspect of safeguarding an individual’s health, as early detection of abnormal blood pressure levels facilitates timely medical intervention, ultimately leading to a reduction in mortality rates associated with cardiovascular diseases. Consequently, the development of a robust and continuous blood pressure monitoring system holds paramount significance. In the context of this research paper, we introduce an innovative deep learning regression model that harnesses phonocardiogram (PCG) data to achieve precise blood pressure estimation. Our novel approach incorporates a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based regression model, which not only enhances its adaptability to… More >

Abstract Diseases of the cardiovascular system are one of the major causes of death worldwide. These diseases could be quickly detected by changes in the sound created by the action of the heart. This dynamic auscultations need extensive professional knowledge and emphasis on listening skills. There is also an unmet requirement for a compact cardiac condition early warning device. In this paper, we propose a prototype of a digital stethoscopic system for the diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities in real time using machine learning methods. This system consists of three subsystems that interact with each other (1)… More >

Abstract The early diagnosis of pre-existing coronary disorders helps to control complications such as pulmonary hypertension, irregular cardiac functioning, and heart failure. Machine-based learning of heart sound is an {efficient} technology which can help minimize the workload of manual auscultation by automatically identifying irregular cardiac sounds. Phonocardiogram (PCG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms provide the much-needed information for the diagnosis of these diseases. In this work, the researchers have converted the heart sound signal into its corresponding repeating pattern-based spectrogram. PhysioNet 2016 and PASCAL 2011 have been taken as the benchmark datasets to perform experimentation. The existing More >
