Health Inf Sci Syst 2024; 12:2. [PMID: 38045019 PMCID: PMC10692066 DOI: 10.1007/s13755-023-00249-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) has become one of the leading causes of death, posing a significant threat to human life. The development of reliable Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted diagnosis algorithms for cardiac sounds is of great significance for early detection and treatment of CVDs. However, there is scarce research in this field. Existing research mainly faces three major challenges: (1) They mainly limited to murmur classification and cannot achieve murmur grading, but attempting both classification and grading may lead to negative effects between different multi-tasks. (2) They mostly pay attention to unstructured cardiac sound modality and do not consider the structured demographic modality, as it is difficult to balance the influence of heterogeneous modalities. (3) Deep learning methods lack interpretability, which makes it challenging to apply them clinically. To tackle these challenges, we propose a method for cardiac murmur grading and cardiac risk analysis based on heterogeneous modality adaptive multi-task learning. Specifically, a Hierarchical Multi-Task learning-based cardiac murmur detection and grading method (HMT) is proposed to prevent negative interference between different tasks. In addition, a cardiac risk analysis method based on Heterogeneous Multi-modal feature impact Adaptation (HMA) is also proposed, which transforms unstructured modality into structured modality representation, and utilizes an adaptive mode weight learning mechanism to balance the impact between unstructured modality and structured modality, thus enhancing the performance of cardiac risk prediction. Finally, we propose a multi-task interpretability learning module that incorporates an important evaluation using random masks. This module utilizes SHAP graphs to visualize crucial murmur segments in cardiac sound and employs a multi-factor risk decoupling model based on nomograms. And then we gain insights into the cardiac disease risk in both pre-decoupled multi-modality and post-decoupled single-modality scenarios, thus providing a solid foundation for AI assisted cardiac murmur grading and risk analysis. Experimental results on a large real-world CirCor DigiScope PCG dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) method in murmur detection, grading, and cardiac risk analysis, while also providing valuable diagnostic evidence.

Abstract
In the diagnosis of cardiac disorders Heart sound has a major role, and early detection is crucial to safeguard the patients. Computerized strategies of heart sound classification advocate intensive and more exact results in a quick and better manner. Using a hybrid optimization-controlled deep learning strategy this paper proposed an automatic heart sound classification module. The parameter tuning of the Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifier in a satisfactory manner is the importance of this research which depends on the Hybrid Sneaky optimization algorithm. The developed sneaky optimization algorithm inherits the traits of questing and societal search agents. Moreover, input data from the Phonocardiogram (PCG) database undergoes the process of feature extraction which extract the important features, like statistical, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and to enhance the performance of this model, the features of Mel frequency Cepstral coefficients (MFCC) are assisted. The developed Sneaky optimization-based DNN classifier's performance is determined in respect of the metrics, namely precision, accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, which are around 97%, 96.98%, 97%, and 96.9%, respectively.

Abstract
Objective. To enhance the accuracy of heart sound classification, this study aims to overcome the limitations of common models which rely on handcrafted feature extraction. These traditional methods may distort or discard crucial pathological information within heart sounds due to their requirement of tedious parameter settings.Approach.We propose a learnable front-end based Efficient Channel Attention Network (ECA-Net) for heart sound classification. This novel approach optimizes the transformation of waveform-to-spectrogram, enabling adaptive feature extraction from heart sound signals without domain knowledge. The features are subsequently fed into an ECA-Net based convolutional recurrent neural network, which emphasizes informative features and suppresses irrelevant information. To address data imbalance, Focal loss is employed in our model.Main results.Using the well-known public PhysioNet challenge 2016 dataset, our method achieved a classification accuracy of 97.77%, outperforming the majority of previous studies and closely rivaling the best model with a difference of just 0.57%.Significance.The learnable front-end facilitates end-to-end training by replacing the conventional heart sound feature extraction module. This provides a novel and efficient approach for heart sound classification research and applications, enhancing the practical utility of end-to-end models in this field.

Abstract
Cardiac auscultation, exhibited by phonocardiogram (PCG), is a non-invasive and low-cost diagnostic method for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, deploying it in practice is quite challenging, due to the inherent murmurs and a limited number of supervised samples in heart sound data. To solve these problems, not only heart sound analysis based on handcrafted features, but also computer-aided heart sound analysis based on deep learning have been extensively studied in recent years. Though with elaborate design, most of these methods still use additional pre-processing to improve classification performance, which heavily relies on time-consuming experienced engineering. In this article, we propose a parameter-efficient densely connected dual attention network (DDA) for heart sound classification. It combines two advantages simultaneously of the purely end-to-end architecture and enriched contextual representations of the self-attention mechanism. Specifically, the densely connected structure can automatically extract the information flow of heart sound features hierarchically. Alongside, improving contextual modeling capabilities, the dual attention mechanism adaptively aggregates local features with global dependencies via a self-attention mechanism, which captures the semantic interdependencies across position and channel axes respectively. Extensive experiments across stratified 10-fold cross-validation strongly evidence that our proposed DDA model surpasses current 1D deep models on the challenging Cinc2016 benchmark with significant computational efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Murmurs are abnormal heart sounds, identified by experts through cardiac auscultation. The murmur grade, a quantitative measure of the murmur intensity, is strongly correlated with the patient's clinical condition. This work aims to estimate each patient's murmur grade (i.e., absent, soft, loud) from multiple auscultation location phonocardiograms (PCGs) of a large population of pediatric patients from a low-resource rural area. METHODS The Mel spectrogram representation of each PCG recording is given to an ensemble of 15 convolutional residual neural networks with channel-wise attention mechanisms to classify each PCG recording. The final murmur grade for each patient is derived based on the proposed decision rule and considering all estimated labels for available recordings. The proposed method is cross-validated on a dataset consisting of 3456 PCG recordings from 1007 patients using a stratified ten-fold cross-validation. Additionally, the method was tested on a hidden test set comprised of 1538 PCG recordings from 442 patients. RESULTS The overall cross-validation performances for patient-level murmur gradings are 86.3% and 81.6% in terms of the unweighted average of sensitivities and F1-scores, respectively. The sensitivities (and F1-scores) for absent, soft, and loud murmurs are 90.7% (93.6%), 75.8% (66.8%), and 92.3% (84.2%), respectively. On the test set, the algorithm achieves an unweighted average of sensitivities of 80.4% and an F1-score of 75.8%. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a potential approach for algorithmic pre-screening in low-resource settings with relatively high expert screening costs. SIGNIFICANCE The proposed method represents a significant step beyond detection of murmurs, providing characterization of intensity, which may provide an enhanced classification of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic events are the main focus of attention during antithrombosis therapy in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to investigate the potential of using photoplethysmography (PPG) and machine learning techniques to assess hemorrhagic risk in patients with CAD. A total of 1638 patients with CAD were enrolled from January 2018 to October 2019, among which 114 patients were observed to have at least one positive event. Importantly, 102 patients with 9933 records were finally retained for analysis in this study. Participants were required to collect data using the portable PPG acquisition device and the specially designed Android APP. The data was collected and uploaded to a remote server. Based on collected PPG signals, we extracted features in a total of 30 dimensions from time-domain, frequency-domain, and wavelet packet decomposition. Logistic regression, support vector regression, random forest, and XGBoost regression models were established to achieve hemorrhagic risk evaluation, and then, their performances were compared. In total, 10 features extracted from PPG showed statistical significance (p < 0.01) between negative and positive groups. The newly established XGBoost model performed best in the hemorrhagic risk evaluation experiment, wherein the mean area under the curve (AUC) with tenfold cross-validation was 0.762 ± 0.024 and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.679 ± 0.051 and 0.714 ± 0.014, respectively. We established a data acquisition system for PPG signal collection, and demonstrated that a set of features extracted from PPG and the proposed machine learning model are promising in the evaluation of hemorrhagic risk among patients with CAD. In comparison with the traditional HAS-BLED score, the proposed method can obtain the quantitative risk prediction probability from a single PPG record, which has the advantages of dynamics and continuity, and can provide timely feedback for doctors' antithrombotic treatment, which is of great significance for doctors to quickly determine the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the timely treatment plans accordingly.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a diagnostic test that records and measures the electrical activity of the human brain. Research investigating human behaviors and conditions using EEG has increased from year to year. Therefore, an efficient approach is vital to process the EEG dataset to improve the output signal quality. The wavelet is one of the well-known approaches for processing the EEG signal in time-frequency domain analysis. The wavelet is better than the traditional Fourier Transform because it has good time-frequency localized properties and multi-resolution analysis where the transient information of an EEG signal can be extracted efficiently. Thus, this review article aims to comprehensively describe the application of the wavelet method in denoising the EEG signal based on recent research. This review begins with a brief overview of the basic theory and characteristics of EEG and the wavelet transform method. Then, several wavelet-based methods commonly applied in EEG dataset denoising are described and a considerable number of the latest published EEG research works with wavelet applications are reviewed. Besides, the challenges that exist in current EEG-based wavelet method research are discussed. Finally, alternative solutions to mitigate the issues are recommended.

Abstract
Body auscultation is a frequent clinical diagnostic procedure used to diagnose heart problems. The key advantage of this clinical method is that it provides a cheap and effective solution that enables medical professionals to interpret heart sounds for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases. Signal processing can quantify the distribution of amplitude and frequency content for diagnostic purposes. In this experiment, the use of signal processing and wavelet analysis in screening cardiac disorders provided enough evidence to distinguish between the heart sounds of a healthy and unhealthy heart. Real-time data was collected using an IoT device, and the noise was reduced using the REES52 sensor. It was found that mean frequency is sufficiently discriminatory to distinguish between a healthy and unhealthy heart, according to features derived from signal amplitude distribution in the time and frequency domain analysis. The results of the present study indicate the adequate discrimination between the characteristics of heart sounds for automatic detection of cardiac problems by signal processing from normal and abnormal heart sounds.

Abstract
Heart sound classification is one of the non-invasive methods for early detection of the cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the leading cause for deaths. In recent years, Computer Audition (CA) technology has become increasingly sophisticated, auxiliary diagnosis technology of heart disease based on CA has become a popular research area. This paper proposes a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for heart sound classification. To improve the classification accuracy of heart sound, we design a classification algorithm combining classical Residual Network (ResNet) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The model performance is evaluated in the PhysioNet/CinC Challenges 2016 datasets using a 2D time-frequency feature. We extract the four features from different filter-bank coefficients, including Filterbank (Fbank), Mel-Frequency Spectral Coefficients (MFSCs), and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). The experimental results show the MFSCs feature outperforms the other features in the proposed CNN model. The proposed model performs well on the test set, particularly the F1 score of 84.3 % - the accuracy of 84.4 %, the sensitivity of 84.3 %, and the specificity of 85.6 %. Compared with the classical ResNet model, an accuracy of 4.9 % improvement is observed in the proposed model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Heart sounds can reflect detrimental changes in cardiac mechanical activity that are common pathological characteristics of chronic heart failure (CHF). The ACC/AHA heart failure (HF) stage classification is essential for clinical decision-making and the management of CHF. Herein, a machine learning model that makes use of multi-scale and multi-domain heart sound features was proposed to provide an objective aid for ACC/AHA HF stage classification. APPROACH A dataset containing phonocardiogram (PCG) signals from 275 subjects was obtained from two medical institutions and used in this study. Complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition and tunable-Q wavelet transform were used to construct self-adaptive sub-sequences and multi-level sub-band signals for PCG signals. Time-domain, frequency-domain and nonlinear feature extraction were then applied to the original PCG signal, heart sound sub-sequences and sub-band signals to construct multi-scale and multi-domain heart sound features. The features selected via the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were fed into a machine learning classifier for ACC/AHA HF stage classification. Finally, mainstream machine learning classifiers, including least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), deep belief network (DBN) and random forest (RF), were compared to determine the optimal model. MAIN RESULTS The results showed that the LS-SVM, which utilized a combination of multi-scale and multi-domain features, achieved better classification performance than the DBN and RF using multi-scale or multi-domain features alone or together, with average sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 0.821, 0.955 and 0.820 on the testing set, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE PCG signal analysis provides efficient measurement information regarding CHF severity and is a promising noninvasive method for ACC/AHA HF stage classification.

Abstract
As the legislative pressure to reduce energy consumption is increasing, data analysis of power consumption is critical in the production planning of manufacturing facilities. In legacy studies, a machine conducting a single continuous operation has been mainly observed for power estimation. However, the production machine of a modularized line, which conducts complex discrete operations, is more like the actual factory system than an identical simple machine. During the information collection of this kind of production line, it is important to interpret mixed signals from multiple machines to ensure that there is no reduction in the information quality due to noise and signal fusion and discrete events. A data pipeline-from data collection (from different sources) to preprocessing, data conversion, synchronization, and deep learning classification-to estimate the total power use of the future process plan, is proposed herein. The pipeline also establishes an auto-labeled data set of individual operations that contributes to building an power estimation model without manual data preprocessing. The proposed system is applied to a modular factory, connected with machine controllers, using standardized protocols individually and linked to a centralized power monitoring system. Specifically, a robot arm cell was investigated to evaluate the pipeline, with the result of the power profile being synchronized with the robot program.

Abstract
Deep learning techniques are the future trend for designing heart sound classification methods, making conventional heart sound segmentation dispensable. However, despite using fixed signal duration for training, no study has assessed its effect on the final performance in detail. Therefore, this study aims at analysing the duration effect on the commonly used deep learning methods to provide insight for future studies in data processing, classifier, and feature selection. The results of this study revealed that (1) very short heart sound signal duration (1 s) weakens the performance of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), whereas no apparent decrease in the tested Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model was found. (2) RNN outperformed CNN using Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCCs) as features. There was no difference between RNN models (LSTM, BiLSTM, GRU, or BiGRU). (3) Adding dynamic information (∆ and ∆²MFCCs) of the heart sound as a feature did not improve the RNNs' performance, and the improvement on CNN was also minimal (≤2.5% in MAcc). The findings provided a theoretical basis for further heart sound classification using deep learning techniques when selecting the input length.

However, due to relatively high human error rates even when auscultation is performed by an experienced physician, and due to the not universal availability of qualified personnel, e.g. in developing countries, many efforts are made worldwide to propose computational tools for detecting abnormalities in heart sounds. The large heterogeneity of achievable data quality and devices, the variety of possible heart pathologies, and a generally poor signal-to-noise ratio make this problem very challenging. We present an accurate classification strategy for diagnosing heart sounds based on (1) automatic heart phase segmentation, (2) state-of-the art filters drawn from the field of speech synthesis (mel-frequency cepstral representation) and (3) an ad hoc multi-branch, multi-instance artificial neural network based on convolutional layers and fully connected neuronal ensembles which separately learns from each heart phase hence implicitly leveraging their different physiological significance. We demonstrate that it is possible to train our architecture to reach very high performances, e.g. an area under the curve of 0.87 or a sensitivity of 0.97. Our machine-learning-based tool could be employed for heartsound classification, especially as a screening tool in a variety of situations including telemedicine applications. This article is part of the theme issue 'Advanced computation in cardiovascular physiology: new challenges and opportunities'.

Cardiovascular Disease Recognition Based on Heartbeat Segmentation and Selection Process. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182010952. [PMID: 34682696 PMCID: PMC8535944 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182010952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 09/04/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Assessment of heart sounds which are generated by the beating heart and the resultant blood flow through it provides a valuable tool for cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnostics. The cardiac auscultation using the classical stethoscope phonological cardiogram is known as the most famous exam method to detect heart anomalies. This exam requires a qualified cardiologist, who relies on the cardiac cycle vibration sound (heart muscle contractions and valves closure) to detect abnormalities in the heart during the pumping action. Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal represents the recording of sounds and murmurs resulting from the heart auscultation, typically with a stethoscope, as a part of medical diagnosis. For the sake of helping physicians in a clinical environment, a range of artificial intelligence methods was proposed to automatically analyze PCG signal to help in the preliminary diagnosis of different heart diseases. The aim of this research paper is providing an accurate CVD recognition model based on unsupervised and supervised machine learning methods relayed on convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed approach is evaluated on heart sound signals from the well-known, publicly available PASCAL and PhysioNet datasets. Experimental results show that the heart cycle segmentation and segment selection processes have a direct impact on the validation accuracy, sensitivity (TPR), precision (PPV), and specificity (TNR). Based on PASCAL dataset, we obtained encouraging classification results with overall accuracy 0.87, overall precision 0.81, and overall sensitivity 0.83. Concerning Micro classification results, we obtained Micro accuracy 0.91, Micro sensitivity 0.83, Micro precision 0.84, and Micro specificity 0.92. Using PhysioNet dataset, we achieved very good results: 0.97 accuracy, 0.946 sensitivity, 0.944 precision, and 0.946 specificity.

Abstract
Coronary Artery Diseases (CADs) are a dominant cause of worldwide fatalities. The development of accurate and timely diagnosis routines is imperative to reduce these risks and mortalities. Coronary angiography, an invasive and expensive technique, is currently used as a diagnostic tool for the detection of CAD but it has some procedural hazards, i.e., it requires arterial puncture, and the subject gets exposed to iodinated radiation. Phonocardiography (PCG), a non-invasive and inexpensive technique, is a modality employing heart sounds to diagnose heart diseases but it requires only trained medical personnel to apprehend cardiac murmurs in clinical environments. Furthermore, there is a strong compulsion to characterize CAD into its types, such as Single vessel coronary artery disease (SVCAD), Double vessel coronary artery disease (DVCAD), and Triple vessel coronary artery disease (TVCAD) to assist the cardiologist in decision making about the treatment procedure followed. This paper presents a computer-aided diagnosis system for the categorization of CAD and its types based on Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal analysis. The raw PCG signals were denoised via empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to remove redundant information and noise. Next, we extract MFCC and proposed 1D-Adaptive Local Ternary Patterns (1D-ALTP) and fused them serially to get a strong feature representation of multiple PCG signal classes. Features were further reduced through Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) and subjected to several classification methods such as support vector machines (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) in a comparative fashion. The best classification performances of 98.3% and 97.2% mean accuracies were obtained through SVM with the cubic kernel for binary and multiclass experiments, respectively. The performance of the proposed system is comprehensively tested through 10-fold cross-validation and hold-out train-test techniques to avoid model overfitting. Comparative analysis with existing approaches advocates the superiority of the proposed approach.

Abstract
Accurate assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR) severity is critical in clinical diagnosis and treatment. No single echocardiographic method has been recommended for MR quantification thus far. We sought to define the feasibility and accuracy of the mask regions with a convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) algorithm in the automatic qualitative evaluation of MR using color Doppler echocardiography images. The authors collected 1132 cases of MR from hospital A and 295 cases of MR from hospital B and divided them into the following four types according to the 2017 American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines: grade I (mild), grade II (moderate), grade III (moderate), and grade IV (severe). Both grade II and grade III are moderate. After image marking with the LabelMe software, a method using the Mask R-CNN algorithm based on deep learning (DL) was used to evaluate MR severity. We used the data from hospital A to build the artificial intelligence (AI) model and conduct internal verification, and we used the data from hospital B for external verification. According to severity, the accuracy of classification was 0.90, 0.89, and 0.91 for mild, moderate, and severe MR, respectively. The Macro F1 and Micro F1 coefficients were 0.91 and 0.92, respectively. According to grading, the accuracy of classification was 0.90, 0.87, 0.81, and 0.91 for grade I, grade II, grade III, and grade IV, respectively. The Macro F1 and Micro F1 coefficients were 0.89 and 0.89, respectively. Automatic assessment of MR severity is feasible with the Mask R-CNN algorithm and color Doppler electrocardiography images collected in accordance with the 2017 ASE guidelines, and the model demonstrates reasonable performance and provides reliable qualitative results for MR severity.

Deep Layer Kernel Sparse Representation Network for the Detection of Heart Valve Ailments from the Time-Frequency Representation of PCG Recordings. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:8843963.

Abstract
The heart valve ailments (HVAs) are due to the defects in the valves of the heart and if untreated may cause heart failure, clots, and even sudden cardiac death. Automated early detection of HVAs is necessary in the hospitals for proper diagnosis of pathological cases, to provide timely treatment, and to reduce the mortality rate. The heart valve abnormalities will alter the heart sound and murmurs which can be faithfully captured by phonocardiogram (PCG) recordings. In this paper, a time-frequency based deep layer kernel sparse representation network (DLKSRN) is proposed for the detection of various HVAs using PCG signals. Spline kernel-based Chirplet transform (SCT) is used to evaluate the time-frequency representation of PCG recording, and the features like L1-norm (LN), sample entropy (SEN), and permutation entropy (PEN) are extracted from the different frequency components of the time-frequency representation of PCG recording. The DLKSRN formulated using the hidden layers of extreme learning machine- (ELM-) autoencoders and kernel sparse representation (KSR) is used for the classification of PCG recordings as normal, and pathology cases such as mitral valve prolapse (MVP), mitral regurgitation (MR), aortic stenosis (AS), and mitral stenosis (MS). The proposed approach has been evaluated using PCG recordings from both public and private databases, and the results demonstrated that an average sensitivity of 100%, 97.51%, 99.00%, 98.72%, and 99.13% are obtained for normal, MVP, MR, AS, and MS cases using the hold-out cross-validation (CV) method. The proposed approach is applicable for the Internet of Things- (IoT-) driven smart healthcare system for the accurate detection of HVAs.

Abstract
Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common fatal disease. At present, an accurate method to screen CAD is urgently needed. This study aims to provide optimal detection models for suspected CAD detection according to the differences in medical conditions, so as to assist physicians to make accurate judgments on suspected CAD patients.Approach: Electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram (PCG) signals of 32 CAD patients and 30 patients with chest pain and normal coronary angiograms (CPNCA) were simultaneously collected for this paper. For each subject, the ECG and PCG multi-domain features were extracted, and the results of Holter monitoring, echocardiography (ECHO), and biomarker levels (BIO) were obtained to construct a multi-modal feature set. Then, a hybrid feature selection (HFS) method was developed using mutual information, recursive feature elimination, random forest, and weight of support vector machine to obtain the optimal feature subset. A support vector machine with nested cross-validation was used for classification.Main results: Results showed that the Holter model achieved the best performance as a single-modal feature model with an accuracy of 82.67%. In terms of multi-modal feature models, PCG-Holter, PCG-Holter-ECHO, PCG-Holter-ECHO-BIO, and ECG-PCG-Holter-ECHO-BIO were the optimal bimodal, three-modal, four-modal, and five-modal models, with accuracies of 90.38%, 91.92%, 95.25%, and 96.67%, respectively. Among them, the ECG-PCG-Holter-ECHO-BIO model, which was constructed by combining ECG and PCG signals features with Holter, ECHO, and BIO examination results, achieved the best classification results with an average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-measure of 96.67%, 96.67%, 96.67%, and 96.64%, respectively.Significance: The study indicated that multi-modal feature fusion and HFS can obtain more effective information for CAD detection and provide a reference for physicians to diagnose CAD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The high mortality rate and increasing prevalence of heart valve diseases globally warrant the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis of such diseases. Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals are used in this study due to the low cost of obtaining the signals. This study classifies five types of heart sounds, namely normal, aortic stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, mitral stenosis, and mitral regurgitation. METHODS We have proposed a novel in-house developed deep WaveNet model for automated classification of five types of heart sounds. The model is developed using a total of 1000 PCG recordings belonging to five classes with 200 recordings in each class. RESULTS We have achieved a training accuracy of 97% for the classification of heart sounds into five classes. The highest classification accuracy of 98.20% was achieved for the normal class. The developed model was validated with a 10-fold cross-validation, thus affirming its robustness. CONCLUSION The study results clearly indicate that the developed model is able to classify five types of heart sounds accurately. The developed system can be used by cardiologists to aid in the detection of heart valve diseases in patients.

Abstract
The prevention and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases have become one of the primary problems in the medical community since the mortality of this kind of diseases accounts for 31% of global deaths in 2016. Heart sound, which is an important physiological signal of human body, mainly comes from the pulsing of cardiac structures and blood turbulence. The analysis of heart sounds plays an irreplaceable role in early diagnosis of heart disease since they contain a large amount of pathological information about each part of human heart. Heart sounds can be detected and recorded by Phonocardiogram (PCG). As a noninvasive method to detect and diagnose heart disease, PCG signals have been paid more and more attention by researchers. In this paper, a novel envelope extraction model is proposed and used to estimate the cardiac cycle of each PCG signal. We present a strategy combining empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique and the proposed envelope model to extract the time-domain features. After applying EMD process to each PCG signal, the second intrinsic mode function is chosen for further analysis. Based on the proposed envelope model, the cardiac cycles of PCG signals can be estimated and then the time-domain features can be extracted. Combining with the frequency-domain features and wavelet-domain features, the feature vectors are obtained. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to detect the normal and abnormal PCG signals. Two public datasets are used to test our framework in this paper. And classification accuracies of more than [Formula: see text] on both datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a type of cardiovascular disease caused by abnormal cardiac structure and function. Early screening of HF has important implication for treatment in a timely manner. Heart sound (HS) conveys relevant information related to HF; this study is therefore based on the analysis of HS signals. The objective is to develop an efficient tool to identify subjects of normal, HF with preserved ejection fraction and HF with reduced ejection fraction automatically. METHODS We proposed a novel HF screening framework based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) model in this study. The logistic regression-based hidden semi-Markov model was adopted to segment HS frames. Normalized frames were taken as the input of the proposed model which can automatically learn the deep features and complete the HF screening without de-nosing and hand-crafted feature extraction. RESULTS To evaluate the performance of proposed model, three methods are used for comparison. The results show that the GRU model gives a satisfactory performance with average accuracy of 98.82%, which is better than other comparison models. CONCLUSION The proposed GRU model can learn features from HS directly, which means it can be independent of expert knowledge. In addition, the good performance demonstrates the effectiveness of HS analysis for HF early screening.

Abstract
Segmentation of fundamental heart sounds-S1 and S2 is important for automated monitoring of cardiac activity including diagnosis of the heart diseases. This pa-per proposes a novel hybrid method for S1 and S2 heart sound segmentation using group sparsity denoising and variation mode decomposition (VMD) technique. In the proposed method, the measured phonocardiogram (PCG) signals are denoised using group sparsity algorithm by exploiting the group sparse (GS) property of PCG signals. The denoised GS-PCG signals are then decomposed into subsequent modes with specific spectral characteristics using VMD algorithm. The appropriate mode for further processing is selected based on mode central frequencies and mode energy. It is then followed by the extraction of Hilbert envelope (HEnv) and a thresholding on the selected mode to segment S1 and S2 heart sounds. The performance advantage of the proposed method is verified using PCG signals from benchmark databases namely eGeneralMedical, Littmann, Washington, and Michigan. The proposed hybrid algorithm has achieved a sensitivity of 100%, positive predictivity of 98%, accuracy of 98% and detection error rate of 1.5%. The promising results obtained suggest that proposed approach can be considered for automated heart sound segmentation.

Abstract
Presently, most deaths are caused by heart disease. To overcome this situation, heartbeat sound analysis is a convenient way to diagnose heart disease. Heartbeat sound classification is still a challenging problem in heart sound segmentation and feature extraction. Dataset-B applied in this study that contains three categories Normal, Murmur and Extra-systole heartbeat sound. In the purposed framework, we remove the noise from the heartbeat sound signal by applying the band filter, After that we fixed the size of the sampling rate of each sound signal. Then we applied down-sampling techniques to get more discriminant features and reduce the dimension of the frame rate. However, it does not affect the results and also decreases the computational power and time. Then we applied a purposed model Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that is based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Dropout, Dense and Softmax layer. As a result, the purposed method is more competitive compared to other methods.

Abstract
The blood flow through the major vessels holds great diagnostic potential for the identification of cardiovascular complications and is therefore routinely assessed with current diagnostic modalities. Heart valves are subject to high hydrodynamic loads which render them prone to premature degradation. Failing native aortic valves are routinely replaced with bioprosthetic heart valves. This type of prosthesis is limited by a durability that is often less than the patient's life expectancy. Frequent assessment of valvular function can therefore help to ensure good long-term outcomes and to plan reinterventions. In this article, we describe how unsupervised novelty detection algorithms can be used to automate the interpretation of blood flow data to improve outcomes through early detection of adverse cardiovascular events without requiring repeated check-ups in a clinical environment. The proposed method was tested in an in-vitro flow loop which allowed simulating a failing aortic valve in a laboratory setting. Aortic regurgitation of increasing severity was deliberately introduced with tube-shaped inserts, preventing complete valve closure during diastole. Blood flow recordings from a flow meter at the location of the ascending aorta were analyzed with the algorithms introduced in this article and a diagnostic index was defined that reflects the severity of valvular degradation. The results indicate that the proposed methodology offers a high sensitivity towards pathological changes of valvular function and that it is capable of automatically identifying valvular degradation. Such methods may be a step towards computer-assisted diagnostics and telemedicine that provide the clinician with novel tools to improve patient care.

Abstract
Heart is an important organ of human beings. As more and more heart diseases are caused by people’s living pressure or habits, the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases also require technical improvement. In order to assist the heart diseases diagnosis, the heart sound signal is used to carry a large amount of cardiac state information, so that the heart sound signal processing can achieve the purpose of heart diseases diagnosis and treatment. In order to quickly and accurately judge the heart sound signal, the classification method based on Wavelet Fractal and twin support vector machine (TWSVM) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the original heart sound signal is decomposed by wavelet transform, and the wavelet decomposition coefficients of the signal are extracted. Then the two-norm eigenvectors of the heart sound signal are obtained by solving the two-norm values of the decomposition coefficients. In order to express the feature information more abundantly, the energy entropy of the decomposed wavelet coefficients is calculated, and then the energy entropy characteristics of the signal are obtained. In addition, based on the fractal dimension, the complexity of the signal is quantitatively described. The box dimension of the heart sound signal is solved by the binary box dimension method. So its fractal dimension characteristics can be obtained. The above eigenvectors are synthesized as the eigenvectors of the heart sound signal. Finally, the twin support vector machine (TWSVM) is applied to classify the heart sound signals. The proposed algorithm is verified on the PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2016 heart sound database. The experimental results show that this proposed algorithm based on twin support vector machine (TWSVM) is superior to the algorithm based on support vector machine (SVM) in classification accuracy and speed. The proposed algorithm achieves the best results with classification accuracy 90.4%, sensitivity 94.6%, specificity 85.5% and F1 Score 95.2%.

A Wavelet Transform-Based Neural Network Denoising Algorithm for Mobile Phonocardiography. SENSORS 2019; 19:s19040957.

Abstract
Cardiovascular pathologies cause 23.5% of human deaths, worldwide. An auto-diagnostic system monitoring heart activity, which can identify the early symptoms of cardiac illnesses, might reduce the death rate caused by these problems. Phonocardiography (PCG) is one of the possible techniques able to detect heart problems. Nevertheless, acoustic signal enhancement is required since it is exposed to various disturbances coming from different sources. The most common denoising enhancement is based on the Wavelet Transform (WT). However, the WT is highly susceptible to variations in the noise frequency distribution. This paper proposes a new adaptive denoising algorithm, which combines WT and Time Delay Neural Networks (TDNN). The acquired signal is decomposed by means of the WT using the coif five-wavelet basis at the tenth decomposition level and then provided as input to the TDNN. Besides the advantage of adaptive thresholding, the reason for using TDNNs is their capacity of estimating the Inverse Wavelet Transform (IWT). The best parameters of the TDNN were found for a NN consisting of 25 neurons in the first and 15 in the second layer and the delay block of 12 samples. The method was evaluated on several pathological heart sounds and on signals recorded in a noisy environment. The performance of the developed system with respect to other wavelet-based denoising approaches was validated by the online questionnaire.

Abstract
In recent years, alignment-free methods have been widely applied in comparing genome sequences, as these methods compute efficiently and provide desirable phylogenetic analysis results. These methods have been successfully combined with hierarchical clustering methods for finding phylogenetic trees. However, it may not be suitable to apply these alignment-free methods directly to existing statistical classification methods, because an appropriate statistical classification theory for integrating with the alignment-free representation methods is still lacking. In this article, we propose a discriminant analysis method which uses the discrete wavelet packet transform to classify whole genome sequences. The proposed alignment-free representation statistics of features follow a joint normal distribution asymptotically. The data analysis results indicate that the proposed method provides satisfactory classification results in real time.

Abstract
This paper aims to develop an algorithm to detect heart diseases through ordinary smartphones without additional equipment for cost accessibility. Among various vital signs emitted by organs, sounds can be easily observed and carry ample information. However, these sounds are small and noisy. Detecting anomalies involves great challenges in signal processing. This study presents a novel method that overcomes noises to estimate cardiovascular health. We use time-scale techniques in time series analysis to extract disease traits and suppress excessive ambient noises. Using datasets from PhysioNet, our model achieved a nearly 100% accuracy in heart disease diagnosis. Our approach also performs well under excessive noises for diseases producing heart murmurs. With heavy noise contaminated signals, training accuracy still closed to 100%, and the testing accuracy still remained around 84%.

Abstract
Intelligent computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems can enhance the diagnostic capabilities of physicians and reduce the time required for accurate diagnosis. CAD systems could provide physicians with a suggestion about the diagnostic of heart diseases. The objective of this paper is to review the recent published preprocessing, feature extraction and classification techniques and their state of the art of phonocardiogram (PCG) signal analysis. Published literature reviewed in this paper shows the potential of machine learning techniques as a design tool in PCG CAD systems and reveals that the CAD systems for PCG signal analysis are still an open problem. Related studies are compared to their datasets, feature extraction techniques and the classifiers they used. Current achievements and limitations in developing CAD systems for PCG signal analysis using machine learning techniques are presented and discussed. In the light of this review, a number of future research directions for PCG signal analysis are provided.

Abstract
The main difficulty encountered in interpretation of cardiac sound is interference of noise. The contaminated noise obscures the relevant information, which are useful for recognition of heart diseases. The unwanted signals are produced mainly by lungs and surrounding environment. In this paper, a novel heart sound denoising technique has been introduced based on a combined framework of wavelet packet transform and singular value decomposition (SVD). The most informative node of the wavelet tree is selected on the criteria of mutual information measurement. Next, the coefficient corresponding to the selected node is processed by the SVD technique to suppress noisy component from heart sound signal. To justify the efficacy of the proposed technique, several experiments have been conducted with heart sound dataset, including normal and pathological cases at different signal to noise ratios. The significance of the method is validated by statistical analysis of the results. The biological information preserved in denoised heart sound signal is evaluated by the k-means clustering algorithm. The overall results show that the proposed method is superior than the baseline methods.

Abstract
Healthy versus unhealthy heart sound computer-aided classification tools are very popular for supporting clinical decisions. In this paper a new method is proposed for the classification of heart sound recordings from a statistical standpoint without detection and localization of fundamental heart sounds (S1, S2). This study analyzes the possibility of detecting healthy heart sound signal from a large set of measurements, corresponding to different pathologies, such as aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis and ventricular septal defects. The proposed method employs singularity spectra analysis and long-term dependency of irregular structures. Healthy signals are firstly separated from the rest of the recordings. In the second step, the signals with a click syndrome, used here as a reference, are detected in the unhealthy group. Innocent murmurs have not been considered in this paper. Each auscultatory recording is classified into one of the following classes: healthy; click syndrome; and other heart dysfunctions. The results of the proposed method provided high recall and precision values for each of the three classes. Since the presence of additive noise may affect the classification, we also analyzed the possibility of classifying signals in such circumstances. The method was tested, verified and showed high accuracy.

Abstract
A robust multistage decision-based heart sound delineation (MDHSD) method is presented for automatically determining the boundaries and peaks of heart sounds (S1, S2, S3, and S4), systolic, and diastolic murmurs (early, mid, and late) and high-pitched sounds (HPSs) of the phonocardiogram (PCG) signal. The proposed MDHSD method consists of the Gaussian kernels based signal decomposition (GSDs) and multistage decision-based delineation (MDBD). The GSD algorithm first removes the low-frequency (LF) artefacts and then decomposes the filtered signal into two subsignals: the LF sound part (S1, S2, S3, and S4) and the high-frequency sound part (murmurs and HPSs). The MDBD algorithm consists of absolute envelope extraction, adaptive thresholding, and fiducial point determination. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method is evaluated using various types of normal and pathological PCG signals. Results show that the method achieves an average sensitivity of 98.22%, positive predictivity of 97.46%, and overall accuracy of 95.78%. The method yields maximum average delineation errors of 4.52 and 4.14 ms for determining the start-point and end-point of sounds. The proposed multistage delineation algorithm is capable of improving the delineation accuracy under time-varying amplitudes of heart sounds and various types of murmurs. The proposed method has significant potential applications in heart sounds and murmurs classification systems.
