That is impossible. A phonocardiogram is, as you know, a recording of heart sounds, as would be heard through a stethoscope. An EKG is a tracing of the electrical activity of the heart, usually acquired using skin-surface electrodes. It is good practice to always record both simultaneously, but creating one from the other is not an option.

I have a ECG transcript from my dad and I would love to convert this to a sound. Is that even possible. I am trying to get a heart beat rhythm to add to a device for my mom. Need ASAP. If possible.
