Abstract

A system for detecting valvular malfunction includes a monitoring device and a processor. The monitoring device includes a heart sound sensor configured to detect heart sounds of the patient, and a signal processor. The processor is configured to receive a signal representative of the detected heart sounds from the signal processor, wherein the processor is configured to compare the signal to a baseline signal stored in memory. The processor may be part of the monitoring device or may be part of an external device, or both.
