Specializes in Pain Management

Heaves and thrills : In medicine, loud heart sounds which can be felt and heard by others are referred to as heaves and thrills. These findings usually indicate presence of a damaged heart valve &/or enlargement of one of the chambers of the heart. It would be rare not to have any other accompanied symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, if this were the case. Echocardiogram is needed for full answer.
