Heart murmur detection from phonocardiogram recordings: The George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2022.

ABSTRACT: Cardiac auscultation is an accessible diagnostic screening tool that can help to identify patients with heart murmurs, who may need follow-up diagnostic screening and treatment for abnormal cardiac function. However, experts are needed to interpret the heart sounds, limiting the accessibility of cardiac auscultation in resource-constrained environments. Therefore, the George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2022 invited teams to develop algorithmic approaches for detecting heart murmurs and abnormal cardiac function from phonocardiogram (PCG) recordings of heart sounds. For the Challenge, we sourced 5272 PCG recordings from 1452 primarily pediatric patients in rural Brazil, and we invited teams to implement diagnostic screening algorithms for detecting heart murmurs and abnormal cardiac functi
