Ubiquitous Perturbations in cardiac auscultation properties, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are widely recognized. In the auscultation procedure, the appearance of pathological cardiac murmurs is linked to heart disorders. A noble automated detection system using 1-D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the detection of pathological heart murmurs is proposed in this study, which removes the difficult task of extracting and selecting features. It directly acts on the phonocardiogram (PCG) signals. The fundamental purpose of this research is to develop a classification model for consistent recognition of cardiac murmurs when the data-set is imbalanced. In view of this, the proposed study for the imbalanced data-set incorporates the Adaptive Synthetic (ADASYN) approach to generate synthetic data for the minority class. The outcome analysis illustrates the positive result in the identification of heart murmurs on both balanced and imbalanced data-sets. Therefore, the developed deep learning model will learn better from the minority class and classify heart murmurs accurately.
