When a predominantly apical systolic murmur, even without a high-pitched quality, is present in older persons careful auscultation of the aortic area will often reveal a faint, rough systolic murmur.

IT is an established clinical observation that certain patients with aortic regurgitation have an apical presystolic murmur without mitral stenosis demonstrable at autopsy. This phenomenon was orig ...

Objective Cardiac auscultation is a key clinical skill, particularly for the diagnosis of valvular heart disease (VHD). However, its utility has declined due to the widespread availability of ...

Auscultation findings and referral During the patient visit, a heart auscultation was performed to detect any potential sign of (aortic) valve disease. This revealed a murmur in 30 patients, of which ...

A diagnostic system based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is implemented as a detector and classifier of heart murmurs. Segmentation and alignment algorithms serve as important pre-processing ...

His family history did not include any significant disease. Physical examination documented regular cardiac rhythm with 3/6 end-diastolic murmur and 3/6 mid-systolic murmur, with lungs clear to ...

In addition to the study, the research team led by Prof S Sankararaman has also published several research papers in international journals on mitral regurgitation heart murmur, lung sound ...

Amid that haystack, picking up on murmurs can be lifesaving. A 70-year-old brought in for a fainting episode may seem all right until you hear the murmur of aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart’s ...

Patients with a diagnosis of ARF according to the Jones criteria, 10, 11 with subclinical carditis (normal cardiac auscultation and mitral and/or aortic regurgitation in the echocardiography) and mild ...

Symptoms of blackout or collapse, especially if precipitated by exercise, must never be ignored, because these may be a sign of severe or critical aortic stenosis.
