I. INTRODUCTION
From heart sound signal physiological and pathological
information in the various parts of the heart is obtained.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of
the heart and blood vessels. According to the statistics from
the world health organization (WHO), more people die
annually from CVDs than from any other cause [1]. An
estimated 17.3 million people died from CVDs in 2008,
representing 30% of all global deaths. Physicians use the
stethoscope as a device to listen to a patient's heart and make
a diagnosis accordingly. With the rapidly development of
signal processing, automatic recognition of heart sound
become possible. Wenjie Fu et al.[2] propose a identify heart
sound by using DTW and MFCC, average correct rate to
92.5%. XIALI ZHENG,et al. [3] improves segmentable rate
from 71.7% to 88.3%. They used discrete wavelet transform
(DWT) algorithm is applied in multi-resolution analysis
(MRA) thus to implement the envelogram segmentation.
The mel-scale frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs)
algorithm is further applied to carry HS feature extraction.
Cota Navin et al. [4] get the features of heart sounds using
DWT then use neural networks as classifier. They got
accuracy rate of 90.29%. G. Xingming [5] et al. get 94% of
2015 IEEE
V. CONCLUSION
In this paper, classification of heart sounds using new
mother wavelet is introduced. Two steps are used to extract
features from heart sounds. First, DWT of heart sounds is
extracted using new mother wavelet which looks like signal
of heart sounds, then statistical components are calculated to
get the features of heart sounds. When SVMs are used as
classifiers, the accuracy rate is 92.29%. So heart sounds are
recognized healthy or unhealthy. In the future work, features
are suggested to be extracted using principal component
analysis PCA using different classifiers such as linear
discriminant analysis LDA and Neural Networks.
