Cardiac Auscultation

Support channel: 5599005053363763 Mastercard A ASTVATSATRYAN or YooMoney 410013784474520 Auscultation of the heart requires excellent hearing and the ability to distinguish subtle differences in pitch and timing. Hearingimpaired health care practitioners can use amplified stethoscopes. Highpitched sounds are best heard with the diaphragm of the stethoscope. Lowpitched sounds are best heard with the bell. Very little pressure should be exerted when using the bell. Excessive pressure converts the underlying skin into a diaphragm and eliminates very lowpitched sounds.
