A patient who had aortic and mitral valves replaced by Carpentier porcine heterografts for bacterial endocarditis developed severe heart failure 18 days after operation. A second emergency operation revealed that the mitral prosthesis had become severely stenosed and calcified. A loud Graham Steell murmur had developed during the 12 hours before reoperation but no distinct murmurs of mitral ste...

It is sometimes difficult to differentiate between innocent murmurs and pathological murmurs during auscultation. In these difficult cases, an intelligent stethoscope with decision support abilities would be of great value. In this study, using a dog model, phonocardiographic recordings were obtained from 27 boxer dogs with various degrees of aortic stenosis (AS) severity. As a reference for se...

background: determining the clinical significance of cardiac murmurs is widely considered in equine practice. pulmonary murmurs are commonly detected in athletic horses. echocardiography plays a leading role in assessment of these murmurs. objectives: echocardiographic evaluation of horses with pulmonary regurgitation and determining the importance of pulmonary valve murmurs. methods: a total n...

INTRODUCTION Heart murmurs can be functional (innocent) and pathological (organic). Although it is not considered a major sign of heart disease, it may be a sign of a serious heart defect. In most cases the noise is initiation for cardiac treatment. Is it possible to differentiate on the basis of auscultation innocent from pathological heart murmur? In this article we present the results of ult...

Cardiac hypertrophy in infancy has been the subject of considerable interest for many years. An increasing number of reports have appeared in the literature describing diverse cardiac lesions in infancy, which nevertheless have similar clinical manifestations. Rosenbaum et al. incorporated this group of diseases under the heading “Primary Myocardial Disease in Infancy and Childhood.” Since most...
