Abstract:
From the mechanism of heart sound generation, it is known that heart sounds are cyclic following the frequency of the heartbeat. This paper proposes a short-time cyclic frequency spectrum to calculate the instantaneous cycle frequency (ICF) of heart sounds as an estimation of the frequency of the heartbeat. Heart sounds in a lung sound record are detected with the assistance of ICF. Lung sounds (LSs) are recovered by removing heart sounds from the LS record. An LS record is the only input signal source; no other reference signal is necessary. Evaluation by visual inspection, auditory listening and spectral analysis all show that heart sounds are successfully cancelled without hampering the main components of lung sounds.

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...

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

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.
Cardiac Cycle
During the cardiac cycle, blood flow through the heart is regulated entirely by changing pressure gradients. This sequence of events begins with the heart in a state of total relaxation, known as mid-to-late diastole, during which blood passively flows from...
