Would you be able to hear a serious heart problem with a stethoscope? and make a diagnosis

Stethoscope: Some heart abnormalities are amenable to diagnosis using the stethoscope as a major component of the examination. Some heart abnormalities do not produce any audible signs for a stethoscope to pick up.
