The continuous left ventricle blood pressure prediction based on selected heart sound features was realized in this study. The experiments were carried out on three beagle dogs and the variations of cardiac hemodynamics were induced by various dose of epinephrine. The phonocardiogram, electrocardiogram and blood pressures in left ventricle were synchronously acquired. We obtained 28 valid recordings in this study. An artificial neural network was trained with the selected feature to predict left ventricular blood pressure and this trained network made a good performance. The results showed that the absolute average error was 7.3 mm Hg even though the blood pressures had a large range of fluctuation. The average correlation coefficient between the predicted and the measured blood pressure was 0.92. These results showed that the method in this paper was helpful to monitor left ventricular hemodynamics non-invasively and continuously.
