Stethophone AI Phonoscopy for rapid assessment of structural and rhythmic issues

The video shows the coordinated mechanics of the valvular apparatus. But what happens when that rhythm is disrupted?

Cardiac murmurs are more than acoustic phenomena — they are often the first clinical expression of altered hemodynamics. For every clinician, distinguishing a functional (innocent) murmur from an organic lesion is a fundamental skill.

Why this matters now:
▪Early screening
Many forms of valvular heart disease (VHD) remain asymptomatic for years, hiding in plain sight.

▪Diagnostic precision
Missing a diastolic murmur — or underestimating a systolic one — can cost valuable time in the patient journey.

▪New horizons
AI-assisted phonoscopy introduces objectivity, reproducibility, and visualization, extending clinical perception beyond the limits of the human ear.

▪Clinical foundation
Mastering the mechanics of each valve is the key to accurate auscultatory interpretation.

Scientific data from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association show that not only sleep duration, but also sleep quality, regularity, and structure affect the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular events, and overall heart function.

SCA causes 75% of exercise-related deaths in young competitive athletes.

What you need to remember:
1. Recognize the signs of SCA
2. Act immediately if you suspect SCA
3. Understand that heart diseases can be behind SCA
4. Prioritize prevention through regular cardiac check-ups
We've seen this happen before. Let's work together to prevent these tragedies and be prepared to respond when every second counts.

❄️ Faster, Higher, Stronger… but is it safe for the heart?
With the 2026 Winter Olympics underway, we are all captivated by the incredible capabilities of the human body. However, behind every record lies a significant physiological adaptation known as "Athlete's Heart."
In this carousel, we’re breaking down:

✅ Why does an athlete’s heart increase in volume?
✅ What distinguishes physiological bradycardia from pathology?
✅ When does an "athlete's heart" require specialized monitoring?

Sports are about pushing limits, but health must always come first. With Stethophone and AI Phonoscopy, we’re making heart health control accessible even under the most demanding physical conditions.
🇺🇸 Cheering for our team! We wish our Olympians nerves of steel, peak health, and only winning rhythms!

Could your fainting spells be a sign of Bradycardia?
Many people assume that fainting (syncope) is just a result of low blood pressure or fatigue. However, it is often caused by bradycardia—a condition where the heart beats too slowly, preventing the brain from receiving enough oxygen.

Which rhythm and conduction disorders are most likely to cause a blackout?

1. Sinus Bradycardia
This is a heart rate below 60 beats per minute (BPM). When the pulse drops to a critical level below 30–40 BPM, the heart cannot pump enough blood to the brain, leading to sudden dizziness or fainting.

2. Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS)
When the heart’s "natural pacemaker" malfunctions, it can cause long pauses in the heartbeat or a dangerous alternation between too slow and too fast rhythms. These pauses (lasting several seconds) are the most common cause of loss of consciousness.

3. Atrioventricular (AV) Blocks
Think of this as a "wiring issue" in the heart, where electrical signals between the chambers are delayed or completely blocked:

▪Second-Degree AV Block: Some signals fail to reach the ventricles, causing "skipped" beats.

▪Third-Degree (Complete) AV Block: A total disconnect between the heart's upper and lower chambers. ❗️This is a medical emergency that almost always leads to fainting and requires immediate intervention.

☝Important: Fainting caused by bradycardia often happens suddenly, without any warning signs.

With Stethophone, you can check your heart rate yourself. By capturing abnormal slowing or racing of the heart, you provide critical diagnostic data for your physician.

Don’t wait for a symptom to become an emergency. Take a proactive approach to your heart health today.

Ever feel like heart sound is just a chaotic jumble of thumps and whooshes? You're not alone. When you're listening to a heart, the main players are S1 (the "lub") and S2 (the "dub"). Think of them as the basic rhythm section of the heart.

Normally, your heart gives you a bit of a break: the period of
🔹diastole (when the heart fills) is longer than
🔹systole (when it contracts).
This timing usually helps you find your bearings.

But here’s where it gets tricky: when a patient has tachycardia (a fast heart rate), those phases start blending together. It’s like the drummer just sped up the tempo, and suddenly, what was a clear "lub-dub... lub-dub" becomes a rapid "lubdublubdub," making it super easy to misinterpret what you're actually hearing.

🧐So, how do you stay oriented? Keep it simple: S1 is louder at the apex (bottom of the heart, think mitral/tricuspid valve closure), and S2 is louder at the base (top of the heart, aortic/pulmonic valve closure).

📱🩺Train your ear to listen for that loudest point, even when the rhythm speeds up. It’s your internal compass in the cardiac jungle.

Left ventricular remodeling is not just a change in cardiac “geometry” – it is a complex process of structural and functional myocardial adaptation.

Remodeling can be:
👉 Physiological (adaptive):
Concentric hypertrophy without fibrosis
(seen in athletes, pregnancy, normal growth)

👉 Pathological:
Concentric remodeling or eccentric hypertrophy, accompanied by activation of neurohormonal systems, interstitial fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte loss
(hypertension, valvular heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc.)

Pathological remodeling is the substrate for the development of heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias.
