Heart Sounds Classification Using Images from Wavelet Transformation

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death around the world and its early detection is a key to improving long-term health outcomes. To detect possible heart anomalies at an early stage, an automatic method enabling cardiac health low-cost screening for the general population would be highly valuable. By analyzing the phonocardiogram (PCG) signals, it is possible to perform cardiac diagnosis and find possible anomalies at an early-term. Accordingly, the development of intelligent and automated analysis tools of the PCG is very relevant.
