Abstract

The author describes how, because of their compatibility with nonstationary random processes, wavelet transforms are particularly powerful when it comes to analyzing biomedical signals. In this paper, he presents a brief survey of the field which makes this fact clear. Applications discussed include detecting coronary artery disease, and heart sounds related to turbulent blood flow analysis.
