In medical scientific literature semantic inaccuracies and misnomers are nothing new. In 1839 Doctor William Farr, Epidemiologist in London, stated that ‘Each disease has, in many instances, been denoted by three or fo...

The advent of the stethoscope has vastly improved the process of identifying normal and abnormal heart sounds which may be linked to valvular heart disease. Abnormal sounds generated by diseased heart valves are referred to as cardiac murmurs. Murmurs can be high or low pitched; therefore it is ...
The final four-term heart failure filter (Table 3) was then run in the Filter Validation Set, retrieving 387/394 records (recall = 98.2%). The 7 records not retrieved were indexed with the MeSH terms Pulmonary edema (n = 3), Coronary disease (n = 1), and both Heart transplantation (...
The International Working Group for Mapping and Coding of Nomenclatures for Paediatric and Congenital Heart Disease, also known as the Nomenclature Working Group, was then established to unify the 2 systems. This was achieved in 2005 by cross-mapping the two previous systems of nomenclature and ...

Risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) are already identifiable in overweight children. The severity of the long-term effects of excess childhood weight on CHD, however, remains unknown. METHODS: We investigated the association between body-mass index (BMI) in childhood...
Thus, the proposed HHDR method effectively utilizes the local information of HRV signals for efficient and accurate cardiac disease recognition, providing strong support for cardiac disease research in the medical field. Keywords: heart rate variability; feature extraction; spectral magnitude quantization;...
