Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and system for detecting abnormal heart sounds in a phonocardiogram of a person. At least one segmented cardiac cycle of the phonocardiogram is received at a processor. The processor decomposes the segmented cardiac cycle into a plurality of frequency sub-bands using a first convolutional neural network having, in particular a plurality of time-convolutionlayers (tConv). The kernel weights of each time-convolution layer are learned in a training process such that the time-convolution layers identify pathologically significant frequency sub-bands. The processor determines a probability that the segmented cardiac cycle contains an abnormal heart sound based on the plurality of frequency sub-band segments using at least one further neural network. Insome embodiments, the time-convolution layers are configured to have a linear phase response (LP-tConv) or a zero phase response (ZP-tConv).

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 680,404, filed June 4, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The devices and methods disclosed in this document relate to detecting abnormal heart sounds, and more particularly to automatic detection of abnormal heart sounds using neural networks. Background technique [0003] Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0004] Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes approximately 17.7 million deaths annually, equivalent to 31% of global deaths. Cardiac auscultation is the most popular non-invasive and cost-effective procedure for early diagnosis of various heart diseases. However, effective cardiac auscultation requires trained physicians, a resource that is especially limited ...
