Abstract

This paper proposes a method of differentiating normal heart sounds S1 and S2 from those of a heart with valvular dysfunction by comparing the generated Fractal dimension using Higuchi's Fractal Dimension. The aim is to provide a classifying parameter which can clearly demarcate normal heart sounds from those with murmurs. The performance of this method is verified against a Continuous Wavelet transform generated time- scale domain method.
