A Heart-Shaped Heart

Heart-shaped clones

Heart-shaped clones he intricate shape of the heart is formed by oriented cell growth patterns, according to Meilhac et al. on page 97. The heart is formed during embryo-genesis from a simple tube-like structure. As it grows, the tube morphs into the complicated but familiar shape of our four-chambered heart. How one set of cells in the tube expands to acquire the shape of a ventricle while oth...

A Hybrid Model of Heart Anomalies Detection by Processing Heart Sounds

​Introduction: Different factors are effective in detecting heart abnormalities. The greater the number of these factors, the greater the uncertainty in the detection of heart abnormalities. In the uncertainty condition in response of prediction model, the fuzzy systems are one of the most effective methods for generating an acceptable response. Method: In this applied study, 3240 records rela...
