Abstract
A process of monitoring heart valve function involves placing one or more transducers on a patient's body, receiving, using the one or more transducers, one or more signals indicating a blood flow velocity profile associated with a heart of the patient, identifying a first peak in the blood flow velocity profile, and determining a severity of a dysfunction of a first heart valve of the heart based on the first peak.
