Application of the empirical mode decomposition in the study of murmurs from arteriovenous fistula stenosis

The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a method to decompose non linear, non stationary time series into a sum of different modes, named Intrinsical Mode Functions each one having a characteristic frequency. In the present work we used the EMD to investigate the properties of the recorded sounds from the Arteriovenous fistula on hemodialysis patients. Phonoangiographic signals coming from two d
