In this article, the effects of neuromuscular blockade, sternotomy and atrio-ventricular pacing, and a two-week recovery period on the spectra and acoustic transmission of mitral M1 and aortic A2 sound components in dogs are described.
Abstract
The paper describes the effects of neuromuscular blockade, sternotomy and atrio-ventricular pacing, and a two-week recovery period on the spectra and acoustic transmission of mitral M1 and aortic A2 sound components in dogs. Results indicate that neuromuscular blockade does not affect the attenuation properties of the heart/thorax acoustic system even if it modifies the intensity of M1 and the phase of the transfer function. The immediate effect of sternotomy and cardiac pacing is an important increase in the attenuation of the heart/thorax acoustic system. This increased attenuation is different for both sounds (20 dB for M1 and 11 dB for A2) and disappears after a two-week recovery period. However, the resulting controlled dog model shows slightly different acoustic characteristics than those of the normal animal model.

Nonlinear transient chirp signal modeling of the aortic and pulmonary components of the second heart sound

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that each component is a narrow-band signal with decreasing instantaneous frequency defined by its instantaneous amplitude and its instantaneous phase, which can be accurately represented by a polynomial having an order of thirty.

Heart sounds and murmurs: changes related to severity of chronic valvular disease in the Cavalier King Charles spaniel.

TL;DR: Cardiac murmurs were present in 59 of the dogs and the intensity of the systolic cardiac murmur was correlated to the severity of CVD and to the echocardiographic dimensions of the heart (left atrial ratio, La/Ao-d, and left ventricular end diastolic diameter).

Time-frequency analysis of the first heart sound

TL;DR: In this paper, the first heart sound is composed of valve-initiated myocardial traveling waves superimposed upon the acceleration of myocardium contraction, and it is shown that a better understanding of first-heart sound mechanics may facilitate the diagnosis of miocardial and native-valve pathology.

Non-linear fluid-coupled computational model of the mitral valve.

TL;DR: This model is the first coupled fluid-structure computational model of the mitral valve in which valvular kinematics result from the interaction of local blood flow and a continuum representation ofValvular microstructure.

Cluster analysis and classification of heart sounds

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical clustering-based approach was proposed for identifying distinct morphologies of heart sounds and classifying them into physiological states based on the feature space of cluster distances and a classification algorithm.

Time-frequency representation of digital signals and systems based on short-time Fourier analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a representation for discrete-time signals and systems based on short-time Fourier analysis and showed that a class of linear-filtering problems can be represented as the product of the time-varying frequency response of the filter multiplied by the short time Fourier transform of the input signal.
