    Anatolian Journal of Computer Sciences Volume:5 No:1 2020 © Anatolian Science pp:1-13 ISSN:2548-1304 Heart Sound Classification for Murmur Abnormality Detection Using an Ensemble Approach Based on Traditional Classifiers and Feature Sets Ali Fatih Gündüz1*, Ali Karcı2 *1Akçadağ Voc. Highschool, Malatya Turgut Ozal Uni., Malatya, Turkey ([email protected]) 2Department of Computer Eng., Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey, ([email protected]) Received Date: Jan. 7, 2020. Acceptance Date: Mar. 21, 2020. Published Date : Jun. 1, 2020. Abstract— Phonocardiography (PCG) is a method based on examination of mechanical sounds coming from heart during its regular contraction/relaxation activities such as opening and closing of the valves and blood turbulence towards vessels and heart chambers. Today there are high technology tools to record those sounds in electronic environment and enable us to analyze them in detail. The constraints such as human’s limited audible range, environment noise and inexperience of physicians can be overcome by the use of those tools and development of state-of-art signal processing and machine learning methods. In this study we examined heart sounds and classified them as normal or abnormal focusing on the efficiency of ensemble classifiers. Features of heart sounds are extracted by using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and time-domain morphological characteristics of the signals. As a novel contribution, Karcı entropy is derived from DWT of PCG signals and used for the first time as feature in heart sound classification. K-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classifiers and their ensembles are used as classifiers.

This approach is non-invasive, inexpensive, and fast. It is also highly unreliable. Over 80% of the people referred to cardiologists as suffering from the most commonly diagnosed condition, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), do not have this condition. Working in conjunction with cardiologists at MGH, we developed a robust, low cost, easy to use tool that can be employed to diagnose MVP in the office of pri- mary care physicians.

Honchar AUSCULTATION OF THE HEART To understand the underlying mechanisms contributing to the cardiac tones formation, it is necessary to remember the sequence of myocardial and valvular action during the cardiac cycle. During ventricular systole: 1. Asynchronous contraction, when separate areas of myocardial wall start to contract and intraventricular pressure rises. 2. Isometric contraction, when the main part of the ventricular myocardium contracts, atrioventricular valves close, and intraventricular pressure significantly increases. 3. The ejection phase, when the intraventricular pressure reaches the pressure in the main vessels, and the semilunar valves open. During diastole (ventricular relaxation): 1. Closure of semilunar valves. 2. Isometric relaxation – initial relaxation of ventricular myocardium, with atrioventricular and semilunar valves closed, until the pressure in the ventricles becomes lower than in the atria. 3. Phases of fast and slow ventricular filling - atrioventricular valves open and blood flows from the atria to the ventricles. 4. Atrial systole, after which cardiac cycle repeats again. The noise produced By a working heart is called heart sounds. In auscultation two sounds can be well heard in healthy subjects: the first sound (S1), which is produced during systole, and the second sound (S2), which occurs during diastole.

  • 3 Blood Pressure and Its Measurement
    Chapter 3 / Blood Pressure and Its Measurement 49 3 Blood Pressure and Its Measurement CONTENTS PHYSIOLOGY OF BLOOD FLOW AND BLOOD PRESSURE PHYSIOLOGY OF BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE FACTORS THAT AFFECT BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS INTERPRETATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS USE OF BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT IN SPECIAL CLINICAL SITUATIONS REFERENCES PHYSIOLOGY OF BLOOD FLOW AND BLOOD PRESSURE The purpose of the arterial system is to provide oxygenated blood to the tissues by converting the intermittent cardiac output into a continuous capillary flow and this is achieved by the structural organization of the arterial system. The blood flow in a vessel is basically determined by two factors: 1. The pressure difference between the two ends of the vessel, which provides the driving force for the flow 2. The impediment to flow, which is essentially the vascular resistance This can be expressed by the following formula: 6P Q = R where Q is the flow, 6P is the pressure difference, and R is the resistance. The pressure head in the aorta and the large arteries is provided by the pumping action of the left ventricle ejecting blood with each systole. The arterial pressure peaks in systole and tends to fall during diastole. Briefly, the peak systolic pressure achieved is determined by (see Chapter 2): 1. The momentum of ejection (the stroke volume, the velocity of ejection, which in turn are related to the contractility of the ventricle and the afterload) 2. The distensibility of the proximal arterial system 3. The timing and amplitude of the reflected pressure wave When the arterial system is stiff, as in the elderly, for the same amount of stroke output, the peak systolic pressure achieved will be higher.
