A brief review of the history of cardiac auscultation confirms its decline. The intervention of healthcare institutions may avoid loss of medical culture and increased costs by adequate training of medical staff.

Integrated fusion approach for multi-class heart disease classification through ECG and PCG signals with deep hybrid neural networks.
Sci Rep
March 2025
Department of Cardiology, National Institue of Medical Science, NIMS University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
Detection and classification of cardiovascular diseases are crucial for early diagnosis and prediction of heart-related conditions. Existing methods rely on either electrocardiogram or phonocardiogram signals, resulting in higher false positive rates. Solely ECG misses the murmurs associated with the narrowing of the blood vessels caused by abnormalities in the heart.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of death, which requires the early and accurate detection of cardiac abnormalities. Abnormal heart sounds, indicative of potential cardiac problems, pose a challenge due to their low-frequency nature. Utilizing digital signal processing and Phonocardiogram (PCG) analysis, this study employs advanced deep learning techniques for automated heart sound classification.

J Card Fail
March 2025
British Heart Foundation Glasgow Cardiovascular Research Centre, School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, United Kingdom.
Background: Early detection of pulmonary congestion among ambulatory patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is critical to optimize decongestive therapy prior to overt decompensation, yet traditional tools are insensitive.
Objectives: To examine the prevalence of B-lines, an ultrasound measure of pulmonary congestion, and their clinical and imaging correlates in patients with HFpEF.
Methods: In a prospective, multi-site observational study, using a pocket ultrasound device, 8-zone lung ultrasound was performed in outpatients with HFpEF, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥45% and NYHA class II-IV.
Heart-Carotid Pulse Wave Velocity for Non-invasive Vascular Stiffness Assessment: A Feasibility Study.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2024
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is one of the established markers of aortic arterial stiffness with proven predictive capability for adverse cardiovascular events. Despite a large body of clinical evidence, cfPWV is not routinely assessed in clinical practice nor used for ambulatory or self-monitoring, as it requires access to the femoral site, which leads to poor subject compliance for the assessment. Heart-carotid PWV (hcPWV) is a potential alternative for measuring aortic arterial stiffness in settings where cf-PWV is challenging to measure.

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2024
Cardiac auscultation is often impractical in telehealth settings because it requires that physicians be co-located with patients in order to operate a stethoscope. We address this gap with EarSteth - a system that leverages consumer-grade active noise-cancelling earbuds to reconstruct cardiac auscultation audio signals. The system processes audio captured by the earbuds' inner microphone with a machine learning model that reconstructs audio similar to what would be produced by a digital stethoscope during cardiac auscultation.
