Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Numerous other pathologic conditions are encountered. The relatively few maneuvers and drugs presented here were chosen as the ones most commonly used in daily practice. Cardiac auscultation is just one aspect of the cardiovascular examination; equal attention should be paid to determination of jugular venous pressure, jugular venous wave form, carotid upstroke characteristics, and to observation and palpation of the precordium. Finally, if the examiner keeps in mind the hemodynamic changes induced by the various maneuvers and pharmacologic agents while auscultating the heart, and if he understands the pathophysiology of the commonly encountered cardiac lesions, he should be able to diagnose heart disease and to evaluate more intelligently various murmurs and heart sounds without necessitating the use of expensive invasive or noninvasive procedures. |
