Erb's point is a specific location on the chest wall where heart sounds can be auscultated, typically located at the third intercostal space along the left sternal border. This area is significant for assessing heart sounds associated with the aortic and pulmonic valves. It is often where the second heart sound (S2) is best heard, as well as other heart sounds related to valve function. Auscultation at Erb's point can help in diagnosing various cardiac conditions.
