3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +5
peer agreement (net): +5heart murmur Explanation: Normal heart sounds are called S1 and S2. They are the "lubb-dupp" sounds that are thought of as the heartbeat. These sounds are produced when the heart valves close. Murmurs are blowing, whooshing, or rasping sounds. They are the result of vibrations caused by turbulent blood flow patterns. This can happen when a valve does not close tightly (such as with mitral regurgitation), or when the blood is flowing through a narrowed opening or a stiff valve (such as with aortic stenosis). A murmur does not necessarily indicate a disease or disorder, and all heart disorders do not cause murmurs. Murmurs are classified ("graded") depending on their ability to be heard by the examiner. The grading is on a scale with grade I being barely detectable. An example of a murmur description is a "grade II/VI murmur." (This means the murmur is grade 2 on a scale of 1 to 6). From your sentence, I think the term 'βυθιότητα τόνων' describes heart murmur grading Maybe if you put a bigger sentence in your explanation would help find the correct term. I enclosed a reference I found in the internet. Hope it helps Reference: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003266.htm |
