Evaluation of heart murmurs From: The science and practice of pediatric cardiology, 1998 Innocent or pathologic? Digital analysis of cardiac acoustic signals in children Milad El-Segaier. Thesis 2007
Heart murmurs in boxer dogs Children Heart murmurs Heart disease 50-80% 1%
Echocardiographic examination
No heart disease Aortic stenosis
Digital heart sound analysis Time-frequency properties Murmur duration >200 Hz Separation of innocent murmurs from murmurs caused by mild heart disease Murmur complexity (T2) Significantly higher in dogs with heart disease compared to dogs with innocent murmurs.
Complexity (T2) vs. duration > 200 Hz Sensitivity94 % Specificity82 % = dogs with heart disease * = dogs with innocent murmurs
Conclusions Duration of murmur frequency > 200 Hz can be used for differentiation between dogs with mild heart disease and dogs with innocent murmurs. Combining murmur duration with complexity analysis (T2) may be a useful method to diagnose heart disease in dogs. Höglund K, Ahlstrom C, Häggström J et al.

Digital heart sound analyses for assessment of severity of heart murmurs caused by mitral valve disease Ingrid Ljungvall, PhD-project Ongoing study
Future implications Digital heart sound analyses are promising techniques for clinical evaluation of heart murmurs. This could be beneficial both for dogs and humans.
