米 Examination of the heart It should be emphasized, however, that for proper application and interpretation of various new and old tests that are available for cardiovascular evaluation in a given patient. Bedside clinical examination should be performed and practiced in the same way following Similar sequences

Examination of the heart Preparing the patient The heart examination should be made as easy as possible for the patient The ideal examining room is private warm enough to avoid chilling, and free from distracting noise and sources of interruption. Adequate(preferably fluorescent or natural) light is essential

米 Inspection Pulsation apical impulse The apical impulse is occurring early in systole. In adults the apical impulse normally is located in the left fifth intercostal space, either at or medial to the mvI and about 2-2.5 cm diameter. it serves the examiner as a marker for the onset of cardiac contraction
