Cardiovascular Examination Clinical Examination of the Heart

A successful cardiovascular exam includes visual examination, palpation of the apical impulse, auscultation of Erb s point, auscultation of the carotids, and auscultation over the four different heart valve locations (aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral). Additionally, the radial pulse is palpated while auscultating to distinguish whether a murmur is diastolic or systolic.
