An Application of Pattern Recognition to Echocardiography

Pattern classification methodology has been applied to echocardiography. Utilizing discriminative features generated by Fourier analysis, anterior mitral leaflet waveforms associated with the normal, mitral stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, and idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis cardiac conditions have been classified in a manner which is unambiguous and which lends itself easily to present day automated technology.
