title: [Phonographic diagnostic aid in heart defects using neural networks].
abstract: New approaches to pattern recognition and modeling using neural networks also provide powerful tools for the analysis of heart sounds in the diagnosis of heart failure. This paper describes how a neutral network can be used to estimate the duration of systolic and diastolic heart phases as well as to suggest a suitable diagnosis. A neural network-based auscultation system is capable of documenting and analysing a heart sound signal by applying methods similar to those used by physicians in the subjective interpretation of stethoscopic signals.
