Cardiac auscultation is a research method that allows you to evaluate the work of the heart by the sounds it makes during muscle contraction and relaxation. This method is one of the most accessible and informative ways to diagnose cardiovascular diseases.
One of the most common methods of auscultation of the heart is auscultation according to the model, which was developed by the Russian general practitioner Sergei Obraztsov. This method is based on determining the characteristic sound signals that arise as a result of the work of the heart.
Auscultation of the heart is carried out using a stethoscope, which allows you to detect heart sounds. In this case, the doctor listens to heart sounds that occur when the heart contracts and relaxes, as well as noises that may indicate the presence of pathological processes.
The pattern-based auscultation method is based on 6 main types of sounds that the doctor must be able to recognize. These are the first and second heart sounds, various types of murmurs that can occur in different parts of the heart, and additional sounds that may be associated with pathological processes.
In addition, the doctor must be able to assess heart rate and rhythm, since changes in these parameters may indicate the presence of cardiovascular disease.
Pattern-based cardiac auscultation is an important method for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. It allows the doctor to obtain information about the functioning of the heart and identify possible pathological changes. Moreover, the method is safe and non-invasive for the patient.
However, it should be noted that auscultation using a sample is not the only method for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and cannot always give a complete picture of the disease. To establish a diagnosis, additional research methods may be required, such as ECG, cardiac ultrasound, coronary angiography and others.
