How does a cardiologist evaluate heart murmurs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look, listen, feel.: Good cards will look, listen and feel chest, neck and peripheral pulses. They will likely have you perform maneuvers such as squat, hand grip or breath hold. If necessary they may obtain cardiac echo which delineates valves, chambers and function of the heart.
