Systematic Review for Phonocardiography Classification Based on Machine Learning

Phonocardiography, the recording and analysis of heart sounds, has become an essential tool in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In recent years, machine learning and deep learning techniques have dramatically improved the automation of phonocardiogram classification, making it possible to delve deeper into intricate patterns that were previously difficult to discern. Deep learning, in particular, leverages layered neural networks to process data in complex ways, mimicking how the human brain works. This has contributed to more accurate and efficient diagnoses. This systematic review aims to examine the existing literature on phonocardiography classification based on machine learning, focusing on algorithms, datasets, feature extraction methods, and classification models utilized. The materials and methods used in the study involve a comprehensive search of relevant literature and a critical evaluation of the selected studies. The review also discusses the challenges encountered in this field, especially when incorporating deep learning techniques, and suggests future research directions. Key findings indicate the potential of machine and deep learning in enhancing the accuracy of phonocardiography classification, thereby improving cardiovascular disease diagnosis and patient care. The study concludes by summarizing the overall implications and recommendations for further advancements in this area.
