TLDR
In this article, a wavelet transform technique is used to determine the beginning and end points of each cardiac cycle by using wavelet transforms and then, first and second heart sounds within the cycles are identified over the PCG signal by paying attention to the spectral properties of the sounds.
Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for pediatric heart sound segmentation, incorporated into a graphical user interface. The algorithm employs both the Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals for an efficient segmentation under pathological circumstances. First, the ECG signal is invoked in order to determine the beginning and end points of each cardiac cycle by using wavelet transform technique. Then, first and second heart sounds within the cycles are identified over the PCG signal by paying attention to the spectral properties of the sounds. The algorithm is applied on 120 recordings of normal and pathological children, totally containing 1976 cardiac cycles. The accuracy of the segmentation algorithm is 97% for S 1 and 94% for S 2 identification while all the cardiac cycles are correctly determined.

Algorithms for Automatic Analysis and Classification of Heart Sounds–A Systematic Review

TL;DR: It is clear that, although a lot of research has been done in the field of automated analysis, there is still some work to be done to develop robust methods for identification and classification of various events in the cardiac cycle so that this could be effectively used to improve the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases in combination with the wearable mobile technologies.

Characterization of Signals From Multiscale Edges

TL;DR: The authors describe an algorithm that reconstructs a close approximation of 1-D and 2-D signals from their multiscale edges and shows that the evolution of wavelet local maxima across scales characterize the local shape of irregular structures.
