Abstract:
This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) in analysing the second heart sound of the phonocardiogram (PCG). The second heart sound S2 consists of two major components (A2 and P2) with a time delay between them which is very important for a diagnosis. It is shown that CWT provides enough features of these components of time, frequency and time delay to aid diagnosis.

Heart Sounds
Auscultation is the process of listening to these internal body sounds using a stethoscope. The heart produces four types of sounds, but only two—S1 and S2—can usually be heard with a stethoscope.
S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V) valves at the...
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System IV: Auscultation
Normal Heart Sounds
S1 (First Heart Sound)-
S1 is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular valves), marking the beginning of systole.
S2 (Second Heart Sound)-
S2 is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar valves), marking the end of the systole.
Pulse rhythm
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac muscle...
