Certainly. There are many strange sounds in the heart and lungs that frighten doctors. Medical bloggers have even stopped arguing with me on this topic, because every time I slip them some unusual situation with a trick. Such an Easter egg in my article.
Yes, very often you can hear a murmur in the patient's heart, which is actually a normal murmur. Different parts of the heart are noisy for no reason. It is not a disease. Well, that is, a therapist or cardiologist, when they listen to you (if they listen to you), they hear heart tones there. This is a normal knock that does not bother anyone. But if they hear some whistling, hissing or blowing noise there, they are very surprised and the patient will be frightened.
In short, normal heart murmurs are most often heard in young adults. Pregnant women also have it.
That pulmonary artery, which we are talking about in the topic about thromboembolism, it can make noise. In young people, its walls can rattle from the flow of blood, and you can hear it. And that's okay.
People with a straight back may have a normal heart murmur. This is when the thoracic kyphosis (a bulge at the level of the shoulder blades) is flattened. They did not figure out what was there and why it was making noise.
Normal valves in the aorta can make noise in pregnant women. This is due to the strong contractions of the heart. We have already discussed this topic. You can read the link below.
Sometimes the heart murmur appears or disappears. When you talk to a patient, and then invite him to get up and immediately listen to the heart, you can hear a noise, which then quickly passes. If the patient gets up slowly, slowly pull up his shirt, and if you listen (as it should) first to the back, then this noise goes unrecognized.
Oh, and the lungs are still fun! If in the morning it is normal to listen to a person's back, then a crunch is heard there, which is mistaken for pneumonia or pneumosclerosis. In short, the more ultrasound machines and the longer this confusion lasts, the less doctors listen to patients' hearts and lungs. Soon they will no longer recognize everything.
They say that now even cardiologists at the reception do not always listen to the heart with a tube. Have you had this?
