Embodiments of the invention provide such an improved system and method. In particular, embodiments relate to systems, methods and apparatuses which use acoustic data in the detection of coronary artery disease. Embodiments can enable fast, non-invasive identification of clinically relevant coronary artery disease, which can ultimately save lives. The non-invasive nature is one example of a multitude of convenient aspects of embodiments that can be used to meet a large, as yet unmet need in a cost-effective and accurate manner. Results can be provided in real-time and with clarity, providing quick and easily understandable indications that can shorten the path to intervention for patients, making embodiments suitable for a wide range of environments, purposes, users and patients.
