Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases have a high morbidity, and remain the leading cause of mortality. In the past two decades, developing an intelligent auscultation system has attracted tremendous efforts from the field of signal processing and machine learning. We propose a novel framework based on wavelet representations and deep recurrent neural networks for recognising three heart sounds, i. e., normal, mild, and severe. The Heart Sounds Shenzhen corpus (n = 170) is used to validate the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in a rigorous subject independent scenario, which can reach an unweighted average recall at 43.0 % (chance level: 33.3%).
