56
Q

cardiac bruit

A

whooshing sound that indicates turbulent blood flow moving through narrowed arteries, most commonly the carotid

57
Q

cardiac murmur

A

abnormal whooshing sounds heard over the heart that indicated turbulent blood flow around the cardiac valve.

58
Q

cardiac lift/heaves

A

suggestive of hypertrophy is when the heart sounds like its beating very strong

59
