This dataset provides high-quality, clinically validated heart sound recordings of valvular regurgitation, offering a valuable resource for developing AI diagnostic tools and enhancing auscultation training.
Dataset enables AI murmur detection and training resources; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Heart regurgitation is a cardiac condition characterized by the backward flow of blood, producing audible murmur sounds detectable during auscultation. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications affecting cardiac function. This article presents a comprehensive dataset of heart sound recordings, including aortic regurgitation (AR), mitral regurgitation (MR), tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and healthy heart sounds, collected from patients at a single hospital using an electronic stethoscope. For each participant, recordings were obtained from three standard chest locations, and all diagnoses were confirmed by an experienced cardiologist. The dataset provides high-quality, labeled recordings that capture the variability of regurgitation sounds across different types and locations. It is intended to support the development and evaluation of automated algorithms for detecting cardiac abnormalities, including machine learning and signal processing approaches. Additionally, this dataset offers an educational resource for medical students and trainee clinicians to practice auscultation skills, recognize different types of regurgitation murmurs, and improve diagnostic proficiency. By making these recordings publicly available, the dataset can serve as a benchmark resource for both research and clinical training in cardiac auscultation.

Fraiwan et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart valve regurgitation (n=104). Heart sound recording via electronic stethoscope was evaluated. A dataset of 399 high-quality heart sound recordings was compiled from 104 patients to support automated murmur detection and auscultation training.
