A system, method, and computer executable code for generating a likelihood ofcardiovascular disease from acquired cardiovascular sound signals isdisclosed, where thegenerated likelihood of cardiovascular disease is based at least on anoverlapping-in-time of bruitcandidates in one heart cycle or in different heart cycles. Also disclosed isa system, method, andcomputer executable code for collecting, forwarding, and analyzingcardiovascular sound signals,where the collecting and analyzing may occur at locations that are remote fromeach other. Furtherdisclosed is a system, method, and computer executable code for determiningthe time and phaseinformation contained in cardiovascular sound signals, for use in analyzingthose cardiovascularsound signals.
