Abstract

The proposed work describes the method of determination of first degree heart block condition of a human heart from the speech analysis of the particular. In an Electrocardiogram (ECG), the PR interval represents the time taken for the depolarization to spread from the SA node to the ventricular muscle. If PR interval is found greater than 0.2s, first degree heart block or AV Block is detected in the heart. As Formant Frequency is the speech feature which represents the physiological and psychological condition of a human body. Formant analysis describes various heart parameters which are obtained through an ECG and so the detection of various heart diseases can be possible from speech analysis.
