Phonocardiography is a diagnostic technique that graphically records cardiac acoustic phenomena. 10 Visualization of heart sounds may help in understanding cardiac events . A visual record may also help an inexperienced listener recognize and classify auscultatory findings.
Pansystolic murmurs in patients with mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation or ventricular septal defect may be confirmed by phonocardiography. They are caused by a flow of blood from a chamber or vessel that is at a higher pressure throughout systole than the receiving vessel or chamber.
A phonocardiogram (PCG) plots recordings of a heart sound and murmur during the cardiac cycle, and analysis of a PCG signal is useful in detecting abnormalities of a heart by using time-frequency analysis and classifications of the heart signals (Milani, Emeroylariffion, Silva, & Nanayakkara, 2021).
A phonocardiogram (or PCG) is a plot of high-fidelity recording of the sounds and murmurs made by the heart with the help of the machine called the phonocardiograph; thus, phonocardiography is the recording of all the sounds made by the heart during a cardiac cycle.
Phonocardiograms are visual representations of heart sounds that have been used for diagnosis [4, 5] and have been advanced as a curricular approach to teach students the typical shape, timing, and duration of heart murmurs that correspond to specific disease processes [6, 7].
1 kwi 2014 · Cardiac auscultation by stethoscope is widely used but limited by low sensitivity and accuracy. Phonocardiogram was developed in an attempt to provide quantitative and qualitative information of heart sounds and murmurs by transforming acoustic signal into visual wavelet.
For a reliable and accurate diagnosis, physicians require more information to correlate the temporal relationships between the heart sounds, the atrial and ventricular BP waveforms (mechanical events), and the ECG signal ( electrical events) during the cardiac cycle.
