Diagnosis of the presence of a thrombus associated with an artificial heart valve using sound analysis to compare the sound of a valve with that of sound patterns originating from valves with an associated thrombus

摘要

Method of sound emission analysis for artificial heart valves, especially for diagnosis of a thrombus associated with the valve, in which the sound emitted by an implanted valve is compared with archived sound patterns originating from heart valves with an associated thrombus.
