A member asked:
Would aortic insufficiency be heard by stethescope if causing symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Ai is very difficult to hear. It requires a very quiet room, a high index of suspicion , a careful exam, and often one must ask the patient to sit up and lean forward.
