Cardiac auscultation, an important part of the physical examination, is difficult for
many primary care providers. As a result, diagnoses are missed or auscultatory signs
misinterpreted. A reliable, automated means of interpreting cardiac auscultation should
be of benefit to both the primary care provider and to patients. This paper explores a
novel approach to this problem and develops an algorithm that can be expanded to
include all the necessary electronics and programming to develop such a device. The
algorithm is explained and its shortcomings exposed. The potential for further
development is also expounded. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
