Heart murmurs are abnormal sounds during your heart beat cycle and can beheard with stethoscope. Mastery and expertise in clinical EKG (Electrocardiogram)interpretation is one of the most desirable clinical skills in bioengineering and medicine. It canprobably only be achieved if one acquires a well rounded experience in understanding thepathophysiology, clinical status of the patient, and correlation with specific EKG findings.This paper presents the development and application of an innovative medical diagnostic tool forEKG monitoring, which can be used by engineering technology, health

Using the database driven approach in the software development, this paper alsodiscusses how the software package can be changed and used to solve problems in anyother engineering and technology curricula. Finally, this paper describes how thissoftware package developed in MATLAB can be converted into a C/C++ source codeand then compiled the source code into a stand-alone executable system.1. IntroductionIn the signal-processing environment, computer simulation is used extensively indeveloping complex systems, including radar performance systems [1]. To analyze theperformance of these radars at a system level, it is practical to rely on basic radarprinciples to model their performance, using the top-level parameters to characterize theradar
