Tac tac


Explanation:
Si es un texto científico yo te aconsejo que lo dejes como Lub Dub. Así lo he visto en apuntes de cardiología.

Sin embargo, encontré la siguiente referencia en la que aparece que el "Ruido que producen ciertos movimientos acompasados, como el latido del corazón: Tac tac"

bum-bum, bum-bum


Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con Andino, aunque en algunas referencias lo encontré como: "tac-tac" y "pumba-pumba" yo creo que "bum-bum" es lo que más se acerca al sonido onomatopéyico del latido del corazón, pues da la idea de bombeo y resonancia.

Aquí encontré un link, que aunque habla de mascotas, menciona nuestra sugerencia "bum-bum."

"para sentir el latido del corazón, cuente un "bum-bum"
como un solo latido. También puede chequear el pulso en la parte interna..."

Lub Dub


Explanation:
This is an international established code and is not being translated. You say it the same in Spanish.

You can find it in any medical book and dictionary.

Hope this helps! :-)
