Abstract | The aim of the study was to design and evaluate a coupler/microphone system for recording weak murmurs from stenoses in the coronar artery. The suggested design is based on the use of a high quality microphone, coupled to the chest through a small air cavity. Since the determination of the exact frequency range of interest related to murmurs is part of the purpose of the study, one of the goals of the design was to achieve a high signal to noise ratio in a broad frequency range. The high cut off frequency of the coupler is determined by the acoustic impedance of the chest and the design of the coupler, while the low frequency behavior was determined by the properties of the microphone, electronic circuits and inadvertent leakages in the acoustical coupling. The requirement for the microphone and pr-amplifier was a low inherent noise level. The setup was used for collection of heart sounds in a clinical trial including 463 patients referred for elective coronary angiography. The preliminary results show, that it was possible to record heart sound in the diastolic period with a sound pressure level approximately 30 dB above the noise floor of the microphone and recording system in the frequency range from 200–700 Hz. The capability of the sensor to record diastolic heart sound in the relevant frequency range indicates that the sensor is suitable for recording of coronary murmurs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
