Heart sound signals are vital for the machine-assisted detection of congenital heart disease. However, the performance of diagnostic results is limited by noise during heart sound acquisition. A limitation of existing noise reduction schemes is that the pathological components of the signal are weak, which have the potential to be filtered out with the noise.

Aiming at the problems of obscure clinical auscultation features of pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease and the complexity of existing machine-aided diagnostic algorithms, an algorithm based on the statistical characteristics of the high-frequency components of the second heart sound signal is proposed. Firstly, an endpoint detection adaptive segmentation method is employed to extract the second heart sounds. Subsequently, the high-frequency component of the heart sound is decomposed using the discrete wavelet transform.
