🌬️ "Cardiac murmurs are audible expressions 🔊 of accelerated blood flow🩸 within the heart chambers and we detect them with a stethoscope🩺 during the cardiovascular physical examination. They commonly indicate some degree of heart valve disease, with the aortic and mitral valves being the most affected in adulthood. The image shows how we measure the flow, using a method called Doppler, which is part of the transthoracic echocardiogram or cardiac ultrasound we perform in our practice. As mentioned in previous posts on this blog, it is a non-invasive imaging study that allows the evaluation of the heart's chambers and is the key🔑 for timely diagnosis and assessment of heart valve diseases (mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary), known as 'valvulopathies.' These conditions manifest with symptoms such as shortness of breath, palpitations (arrhythmia), chest pain (angina), fainting (syncope), among others. In our practice, we routinely perform this during each visit, providing the patient assessment with unique and immediate information. Additionally, it is a study that emits no radiation, can be repeated as necessary, and requires no preparation.
