A member asked:
How precise is the stephoscope for hearing aortic regurgitation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very: The stethoscope is a very imprecise tool for detecting and quantifying aortic regurgitation . Moreover, because it's soft and subtle, it's very easily overlooked on a routine exam.
