Detection of S1 and S2 Heart Sounds by High Frequency Signatures

Authors

Abstract

A new unsupervised and low complexity method for detection
of S1 and S2 components of heart sound without an
ECG reference is described. The most reliable and invariant
feature applied in current state-of-the-art unsupervised
heart sound segmentation algorithms is implicitly or explicitly
the S1-S2 interval regularity. However, this criterion
is inherently prone to noise influence and does not appropriately
tackle the heart sound segmentation of arrhythmic
hearts. A solution based upon a high frequency marker,
which is extracted from heart sound using the fast wavelet
decomposition, is proposed in order to estimate instantaneous
heart rate. This marker is physiologically motivated
by the accentuated pressure differences found across heart
valves, both in native and prosthetic valves, which leads
to distinct high frequency signatures of the valve closing
sounds. The algorithm has been tested with heart sound
samples collected from patients with mechanical and bioprosthetic
heart valve implants in different locations, as
well as with patients with native valves. This approach
exhibits high sensitivity and specificity without being dependent
on the valve type nor their implant position. Furthermore,
it exhibits invariance with respect to arrhythmia
and sound recording location.
