Description
Summary:In Mexico City at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Azcapotzalco (UAMA), with the aim to build a Computerized Diagnostics System of Cardiac Diseases based on the sound emitted by the heart, a research project is conducting. Cardiac sound is captured in a computer through a data acquisition system which it transforms in an image that will be analyzed later. Along years, several methods had been developed in different institutions of various countries looking for identify in phonocardiograms cardiac pathologies, some of them using complex mathematical algorithms for medical sector, which make difficult to understand and apply. At UAMA we can recognize image alterations of acoustic wave by means of a visual and computerized method in which its possible identify possible damages in the different heart’s components. To get a set of images of phonocardiograms of people with different heart disease, diagnosed and being treated, phonocardiograms were taken to ambulatory patients seen in the Echocardiography office at a High Specialty Hospital. We show the obtained images and his correlation with the diagnosed cardiac diseases.
