Why can abnormalities of the heart valve be detected more accurately by auscultation?
Narrowing of the heart valves can be detected more accurately by auscultation than by electrocardiogram. That's because it takes a closer visual. An electrocardiogram just takes readings.
Why abnormalities of the heart is better detected by ausculation rather than electrocardiography?
with electrocardiography and auscultation different abnormalities can be detected. For example, ecg can show abnormal rythms (due to the damage to the conductive tissue or high level of potassium). But cardiac mummurs can only be heard (they're because of valvular problems)
What does auscultation bilaterally mean?
Auscultation bilaterally means listening to sounds, such as heart or lung sounds, on both sides of the body. This allows for comparison to check for symmetry and abnormalities in the sounds heard on each side.
What is the Medical term meaning listening to the heart?
Cardiac auscultation is the medical term meaning listening to the heart.
What abnormalities can be detected in the T wave on an ECG?
Abnormalities in the T wave on an ECG can indicate conditions such as myocardial ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or certain heart diseases. These abnormalities may include T wave inversion, flattening, or peaking, which can provide important information about the heart's electrical activity and potential health issues.
What is the technique called when a physician listens to your heart sounds?
auscultation
What is the medical term meaning a method of physical assessment using a stethoscope to listen to sounds within the chest?
This is called auscultation, and is used most often to listen for heart and lung sounds. You can also ausculate the abdomen to listen for stomach and bowel sounds.
Does a stethoscope listen to the heart or lungs?
Yes a stethoscope listens to the heart,lungs and stomach sounds.It detects all kinds of abnormalities in the heart like murmurs-extra beats known as PVC or PAC's.Lung sounds like pneumonia-respiratory infections etc.Stomach sounds also to see if the bowels are working correctly.
Which is the PMI where auscultation of the heart is done?
5th intercostal space at MCL
What disease would affect an ECG?
Heart disease, specifically conditions like heart attacks, arrhythmias, and heart failure, can affect an ECG by causing abnormal patterns or irregularities in the heart's electrical activity. These conditions can be detected by analyzing the ECG tracing for signs of abnormalities.
What do you call a gurgling or swishing sound heard upon auscultation of the heart?
Murmur
How is DiGeorge syndrome diagnosed?
Diagnosis of DiGeorge syndrome can be made by ultrasound examination around the eighteenth week of pregnancy, when abnormalities in the development of the heart or the palate can be detected.
