Automatic recognition of murmurs of ventricular septal defect using convolutional recurrent neural networks with temporal attentive pooling

Abstract Recognizing specific heart sound patterns is important for the diagnosis of structural heart diseases. However, the correct recognition of heart murmur depends largely on clinical experience. Accurately identifying abnormal heart sound patterns is challenging for young and inexperienced cli...
