What is a bruit?
A bruit is something that can be heard with a stethoscope over an artery, that indicated turbulent blood flow. In a normal artery, blood flows smoothly (laminar flow) but if there is an obstruction e.g. a clot or fatty plaque (atherosclerosis) the blood flow is disturbed and bounces off the sides of the artery walls, causing the bruit to be heard. It sounds like a rushing or roaring sound.
