Abstract

One of the general methods to diagnose abnormalities of heart is stethoscopy. This method needs special skill and experiment of doctors and it lacks for objectivity. Electrocardiography(ECG) is another biomedical method which is commonly used to diagnoss abnormalities of heart. The development of PCG is required in recent years to improve objectivity of stethoscopy method. In this paper, PCG is implemented on personal computer and ECG is also included to help the analysis of PCG waveform. Time analysis is used so far, but in this paper the frequency analysis is also considered to improve the accuracy of disgonosis. As future research, recognition of PCG and ECG signal and the Expert System is required to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.
