Classification of hierarchically clustered and homomorphic segmented heart sounds using neural networks

Cardiac auscultation is widely used by physicians to evaluate cardiac functions in patients and detect the presence of abnormalities. Phonocardiogram signals (PCG) are heart signals which contain vital information about the heart and can be used effectively in diagnosing various pathological conditi...
