INTRODUCTION
Phonocardiogram is a physiological signal that results from the vibrations created by closure of heart valves and it represents the recording of the heart sound signal. A normal cardiac cycle is comprised of two major sounds- first sound (S1) and the second heart sound (S2). The first heart sound has four components in it, due to the closure of AV and semilunar valves. The second heart sound has two components, one due to closure of aortic valve and another due to closure of pulmonary valve (Rangayyan, R.M and Lehner ,R.J (1988). In some case a third heart sound (S3) may be heard, which is corresponding to sudden termination of the ventricular rapid filling phase. In late diastole, a fourth heart sound (S4) may be heard, caused

Its main advantage is to provide simultaneous information on frequency and time location of the signal characteristics in terms of the representation of the signal at multiple resolutions corresponding to different time scales. Derek Abott et al., (2001), demonstrated that wavelet denoising techniques in combination with averaging are useful for removing white noise from heart sounds. They have also concluded that a decomposition level of 5 produced reasonable results and the signal produced marginal benefits while the computation time is increased during decomposition. Averaging is done to reduce the noise and produce a characteristic heart beat. Jalel Chebil et al., (2007) utilized the discrete wavelet transforms to identify the first heart sound S1, second heart sound S2, and murmurs and developed an algorithm to classify the PCG signal into 3 categories as signal with murmur, signal with diastolic murmur, or a normal signal. P.S.Vikhe et al., (2009) used Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to analyze the first (S1) and second (S2) heart sound of the Phonocardiogram signal (PCG). The experiments were performed on normal and pathological PCG signals. DWT was used to denoise and find the split between A2 and P2 and CWT was used to determine the frequency components of S1 and S2 of PCG and to measure the split between A2 and …show more content…
From the above figure 7, the frequency split was more evident when the decomposed level increased. The s1 starts from 0.3 to 0.38 sec( four distinct energy band ) , s2 starts from 0.6 to 0.7 sec (two distinct energy band) at third level approximation the frequency with respect to time is more evident .
Abnormal condition 1 (Mid systolic click)
Mid Systolic click is a high-frequency sound in mid systole that results from the abrupt halting of prolapsing mitral valve leaflets' excursion into the atrium by chordae. This was reflected in the PCG signal as a click between S1 and S2 shown in below figure
Annexe 1 : Heart murmur 1. An unusual sound coming from the heart that can be detected by a stethoscope. These noises are caused by an abnormal turbulence produced when blood flows across one of the heart (valves, cardiac chambers) and or vessels close to the heart Heart murmurs are classified by the intensity of the sound heard: Stage I (murmur is of low intensity and can hardly be heard) to Stage VI (murmur is extremely loud).

Pulmonary: Chest wall symmetric, respirations even and unlabored. Lungs CTA. Cardiac: Sinus tachycardia, NL S1, S2. No murmurs or rubs.

The data that my group collected refutes our hypothesis because the difference and inconsistency of the breaths per minute in the ventilation rate and the breath volume in liters are all around the same amount. The p-value from the t-test for ventilation (breaths/minute) was 0.27, and for the breath volume (liters) it was 0.15. Both p-values are above 0.05, the Null Hypothesis is accepted. There is an overlap of data. The answer to the previous question is yes, mild and vigorous exercise affects the ventilation rate the same way as breath volume rates with little to no difference.
A person may be tired with doing daily activities such as shopping, climbing stairs, or simply just walking. This happens because the heart cannot pump enough blood to supply the tissues. One of the biggest symptoms is an increased heart rate. This may feel like the heart is throbbing, or racing. This happens because the heart is trying to catch up to the pumping capacity, causing the heart to beat so much faster.
The DSP processor checks for the frequency range between 32-40 Hz. If the range is between this, then the person is considered to be under stress or addiction and the processor runs a look-up table which contains the digital samples of binaural beats. The samples produce sine wave with a difference of 10 Hz. These two waves are sent on each side of the headphone. Fig 10.
What he heard was his guilt. The heartbeat was probably his own growing anxious that there were three cops in the room where he killed a man the night before. And that man's body was underneath the floorboards. The heartbeat was a metaphor for his guilt boiling over. He felt guilty for the murder he had just committed.
This type of shock occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. This is evident to patients who have had myocardial infarction, such as John’s case. In this illness, the heart has decreased contractility resulting to decreased cardiac output. Such decrease will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to activate the compensatory mechanism by increasing the heart rate as evident in John’s vital sign to increase the peripheral pressure and ventricular
Soldier’s Heart is written by Gary Paulsen and is based on a true story. The story Soldier’s Heart is about a boy named Charley Goddard who wants to become a man. Charley does have soldier's heart. Soldier’s heart is a disease name that was used during the times of Civil War. it was said that although the disease was called soldier’s heart, most people did not know what the disease was.
This will help to narrow down the possible causes of death greatly, seeing how it is heart

PERSONAL STATEMENT (NURFATIN BT MOHD SHAH) I want to further my study in this course because it is thrilling and rapidly- moving subject area, that is highly pertinent to the problem facing by society today. As far as I concern, cardiovascular disease is one of the popular cause of death. I am keen to learn more and involve in the latest advances in cardiovascular research. Over the years of studying, my interest in this area has increased.
