Why the physical exam is an opportunity we mustn't miss
New health and medical innovations are constantly changing how we provide and receive care. However, we can’t abandon a fundamental part of the care continuum; the routine physical exam.
Articles
Analog Stethoscopes
Read an overview of the stethoscope, a medical device used for auscultating the internal sounds of the body.
How COVID-19 Affects Cardiovascular Health
Learn how cardiovascular health is effected by COVID-19.
How Providers Use Their Stethoscope to Screen Pneumonia and COVID-19
Learn how healthcare providers can screen for diseases like pneumonia while staying safe from COVID-19
A Stethoscope’s Place in Today's Clinical Workflow
Why don’t healthcare providers use their stethoscopes? The answer, I fear, is complex and sad.
Phonocardiogram
Learn about the phonocardiogram (PCG), a high-fidelity plot of heart sounds over time. PCGs are useful tools that can be used to determine overall heart health through the detection of otherwise subaudible sounds and murmurs.
Digital stethoscope
Learn the value of electronic stethoscopes, enhanced analog stethoscopes with features such as noise cancellation, filtering, and amplification.
Abnormal Heart Sounds
A heart murmur is an abnormal heart sound that could be caused by congenital and acquired structural abnormalities, but may sometimes also be present in healthy hearts.
Cardiac Anatomy
Master Cardiac Basics like Cardiac Anatomy
Cardiac Electrical Signals
Learn the basics of cardiac electrical signals
Summary on Systolic Murmurs
Learn about systolic murmurs
Aortic stenosis
Learn about valvular heart diseases like Aortic stenosis
Eko Telemedicine for COVID-19 Response
Eko's telemedicine plan allows providers to virtually examine their patients' cardiac and pulmonary health as if they were standing at their bedside.
Cardiac Auscultation
Abnormal or unusual heart sounds may indicate illness. Auscultating (hearing) those sounds well depends greatly upon chest location.
Mitral regurgitation
Learn the basics of mitral regurgitation. (MR) is a condition in which the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium during systole.
How to Use Bluetooth Stethoscopes for Wireless Auscultation
Step-by-step on using Bluetooth stethoscopes for wireless auscultation
COVID-19 Effect on the Healthcare System
Telemedicine can help reduce the burden on healthcare systems caused by COVID-19.
Sinus Node and Atrial Depolarization
Learn the the cardiac cycle and how it starts with the sinus node and atrial depolarization
Ventricular Septal Defect
Learn about Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) which is an abnormal opening between the right and left ventricle, and is a common heart defect present at birth.
Diastolic Murmurs
Learn about diastolic murmurs which are murmurs heard during diastole, between the second heart sound (S2) and the first heart sound (S1).
Mitral stenosis
Learn about Mitral stenosis (MS) which is the narrowing of the heart’s mitral valve such that it cannot open all the way - obstructing blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
Aortic regurgitation
Learn about Aortic regurgitation (AR) which is a condition in which the aortic valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow in the reverse direction from the aorta back into the left ventricle during diastole.
Summary on Continuous Murmurs
Learn about continuous murmurs which begin in systole, peak near the second heart sound (S2), and continue into part or all of diastole.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Learn Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) which is a congenital defect where the ductus fails to close in the early weeks of life, resulting in the abnormal transmission of oxygenated blood to flow back to the pulmonary circulation from the aorta.
Summary on Arrhythmia
Learn about arrhythmias which are irregular or abnormal heartbeat. Arrhythmias occur when changes in the electrical impulses cause the heart to beat irregularly, too fast, or too slowly.
AFib Differential Diagnosis: Determining other causes
What to think when you suspect AFib
Crackles
Learn about crackles which can be characterized as abnormal, discontinuous, “rattling” sounds heard best during inspiration in lungs with respiratory disease.
Wheeze
Learn about wheezes, a high-pitched, musical, lung sound heard best during expiration.
Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - a practical tool for the clinical workflow.
The History of the Stethoscope
Learn the history of this AI-powered cardiovascular screening device.
Why the physical exam is an opportunity we mustn't miss
New health and medical innovations are constantly changing how we provide and receive care. However, we can’t abandon a fundamental part of the care continuum; the routine physical exam.
Why cost-effective atrial fibrillation screening is long overdue
No one would argue against the importance of atrial fibrillation (AF) screening. What’s less clear is how to implement an approach that’s clinically feasible and cost-effective. Regardless, we have more reasons than ever to find a solution as soon as possible.
Understanding Phonocardiograms (PCG)
Learn why the PCG is the cinderella of cardiac diagnostics.
