Knowledge based system with embedded intelligent heart sound analyser for diagnosing cardiovascular disorders

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and due to the lack of early detection techniques, the incidence of CVD is increasing day by day. In order to address this limitation, a knowledge based system with embedded intelligent heart sound analyser (KBHSA) has been develo...
