Heart sound recorder in Houston
Heart Sound Recorder in Houston –
Functional Cardiac Evaluation
At The Hayden Institute, the Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) provides a non-invasive way to evaluate the sounds produced by the heart. By recording the timing, rhythm, and intensity of heart sounds, the HSR creates a visual representation of the heart’s mechanical activity, offering additional insight into cardiovascular function.
HSR findings are interpreted alongside each patient’s health history, symptoms, and clinical examination. This information may complement our clinical nutrition and functional medicine approaches when exploring cardiovascular wellness, nutritional needs, and overall health.
Unlike an EKG, which measures electrical activity, the HSR records acoustic activity. It provides an additional perspective on heart function rather than replacing conventional cardiac testing.
"It Works!"
"I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Elissa, who is an absolute miracle worker! We did applied kinesiology/muscle testing and emotional release work together. I have never experienced such profound healing that was felt immediately. I don’t fully understand how applied kinesiology works but it works!... I have never experienced such a nurturing and supportive health professional in my life. I am forever grateful that our paths have crossed. I feel like a new woman!"

What is the Heart Sound Recorder?
The Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) is a non-invasive, computer-based device that uses a specialized microphone to record the sounds produced by the heart’s valves. These sounds are converted into a visual graph, allowing practitioners to evaluate their timing, rhythm, and relative intensity.
Unlike an EKG, which records the heart’s electrical activity, the HSR captures acoustic information related to its mechanical activity. At The Hayden Institute, these recordings are interpreted within a broader clinical and nutritional assessment, providing additional information that may help guide individualized recommendations and monitor changes over time.

"IT's Worth It!"
"10 stars is not enough for Dr Hayden and his staff. They have helped me countless times to get better when traditional doctors could not. I’ve been seeing Dr Hayden since 2015 and he has always been "on point" with each diagnosis and treatment. I have to drive an hour and 20 minutes to get there but it’s worth it. He has helped my inflammation to go down with RA, body temperature to go up, Thyroid in balance, losing weight, and most of all living better with my SI joint pain. He goes beyond chiro with his knowledge in the endocrine system and quantum neurology."

What the Heart Sound Recorder Can Reveal
The Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) provides a visual record of heart sound patterns, including their timing, rhythm, and relative intensity. These findings offer additional information about the heart’s mechanical activity and may be considered alongside nutritional, metabolic, and lifestyle factors.
At The Hayden Institute, HSR findings may help guide a broader evaluation of:
- Cardiovascular function and heart sound patterns
- Nutritional status, including B vitamins and minerals
- Stress, fatigue, and energy-related concerns
- Hydration, electrolyte balance, and metabolic health
- Changes observed during ongoing nutritional support
The HSR may be of interest to patients experiencing fatigue, stress, or cardiovascular wellness concerns, as well as those seeking a more personalized approach to preventive health. Recordings are interpreted in clinical context rather than used alone to diagnose nutritional deficiencies or medical conditions.
What to Expect During a Session
Your Heart Sound Recorder session will be conducted by Liz Taylor, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist through the Edison Institute of Nutrition’s 2,000-hour program. Liz has received advanced training in Heart Sound Recorder technology and incorporates these findings into personalized nutritional and lifestyle guidance.
During your session:
- Recording: You’ll relax in a seated position while a specialized microphone records heart sounds at four locations on your chest corresponding to the heart’s major valves.
- Visual Analysis: The software converts the recordings into graphs showing heart sound timing, rhythm, and intensity.
- Personalized Review: Liz will explain the findings and discuss nutritional or lifestyle considerations relevant to your overall health.
- Follow-Up: Additional recordings may be used to compare heart sound patterns over time and observe changes alongside your nutritional care.
The process is comfortable, non-invasive, and does not require needles or imaging.
