The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading causes of death globally, with an estimated rise to over 23.6 million deaths by 2030. This alarming trend can be attributed to our unhealthy lifestyles and lack of attention towards early CVD diagnosis. Traditional cardiac auscultation, where a highly qualified cardiologist listens to the heart sounds, is a crucial diagnostic method, but not always feasible or affordable. Therefore, developing accessible and user-friendly CVD recognition solutions can encourage individuals to integrate regular heart screenings into their routine. Although many automatic CVD screening methods have been proposed, most of them rely on complex prepocessing steps and heart cycle segmentation processes. In this work, we introduce a simple and efficient approach for recognizing normal and abnormal PCG signals using Physionet data. We employ data selection techniques such as kernel density estimation (KDE) for signal duration extraction, signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR), and GMM clustering to improve the performance of 17 pretrained Keras CNN models. Our results indicate that using KDE to select the appropriate signal duration and fine-tuning the VGG19 model results in excellent classification performance with an overall accuracy of 0.97, sensitivity of 0.946, precision of 0.944, and specificity of 0.946. |
