Abstract

The cone-kernel distribution (CKD) is first applied to the analysis of the intracardiac and the thoracic first heart sound (S1) of dogs in various cardiac contractile states, and secondly to the S1 of patients with mitral mechanical prosthetic heart valves. The CKD of native S1 in dogs shows that the dominant components of S1 are generally concentrated in a band at around 50 Hz with a horizontal flat or a semi-lunar shape, independently of the myocardial contractile state. There is no significant systematic rising frequency component. The instantaneous frequency of S1 shows a good cross-correlation with the time derivative of the left ventricular pressure (dP/dt), but the maximum frequency is not proportional to the maximum of dP/dt. The CKD of S1 in patients with mitral mechanical prosthetic heart valves showed a pulse-like component with a high-frequency bandwidth, which is distinct from the low constant-frequency components of S1 produced by native heart valves
