Abstract
Methods for identifying and/or visualizing an acoustic window suitable for passive acoustic coronary heart disease evaluations by mapping the relative SNR distribution on the channels on an array of a plurality of sensors to nominal locations on a person's chest of each sensor in the acoustic sensor array and identifying a plurality of sensor locations that correspond to the highest channel SNR's is described and/or sizing the acoustic sensor array to correspond with the identified acoustic window.
