A one-month-old male terrier dog was referred in shock status with a history of anorexia, tachypnea, abdominal distention and progressive weight loss. Auscultation of right side of the lungs found enhanced respiratory noises. The thorough auscultation of the opposite side of the chest revealed the presence of typical intestinal sounds. Cardiac auscultation revealed muffled heart sounds and a di...

This article outlines a systematic approach to auscultation of the heart and discusses the significance of the heart sounds and murmurs heard.Auscultation of heart and lungs. Completion of this package will encourage learners to: Communicate with patients in a way, which reduces anxiety, provides.remembered that auscultation of the heart is only one component of the cardiac physical. Recent adv...

Training in cardiac auscultation is a core element of undergraduate teaching but recent studies have documented a remarkable decline in auscultatory skills. Therefore there is an interest in new ways to teach cardiac auscultation. In analogy to phonocardiography, an electronic system for simultaneous auscultation and visualisation of murmurs was sought. For this purpose, an electronic stethosco...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that medical students and post-graduate trainees need to improve their proficiency in cardiac auscultation. Technologic advances have created new learner-centered opportunities to enhance proficiency in this important physical examination skill. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine if technology-based, self-directed learning tools improved the cardiac auscu...

The observation and management of cardiac features (using automated cardiac auscultation) is of significant interest to the healthcare community. In this work, we propose for the first time the use of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for automated cardiac auscultation and detection of abnormal heartbeat detection. The application of RNNs for this task is compelling since RNNs represent the deep...
