EN This paper presents a phonocardiographic signal analysis with special emphasis on the Matching Pursuit method. To the knowledge of the authors, this method has not been used before to analyze PCG (phonocardiogram) signals. For this reason, its usefulness for this signal type was tested and a dictionary of Gabor atoms was created. Based on these findings, PCG signal analysis was performed as a Wigner-Ville distribution and compared with a spectrogram. Observing the obtained graphs, it was found that the Wigner-Ville map gives more detailed information about the frequencies which make up the given signal and the time of their occurrence. This method can be used to detect anomalies and pathologies of the heart.
