Throughout our lives the heart beats about once setap seconds and will more often when we do physical activity. We all must have felt checked with a stethoscope on the chest. However, do you know how to echo the sound of the heartbeat is heard from the doctor without it?

We will listen to the heart, the doctor will tell us to inhale and exhale naturally, or with a certain rhythm. The doctor will move the stethoscope from one place to another in the chest.

Normal heart rate has a consistent pattern of sounds like "lubb" and "dubb". This voice has to do with the heart valves closing. "Lubb" followed by a short pause and "dubb" followed by a longer pause.

Differences insensitas heart sounds are a key of a disease associated with heart or pau. Obesity, emphysema, or fluid around the heart can muffle the sound of the heartbeat.

In addition to the stethoscope can also be detected other voices. For example, the noise of the heart (murmur), due to turbulence during the heart beat. Depending on the location and nature of noise and its relation to heart lubb-dubb voice said, usually the doctor can identify the existence of a structural change in the heart that causes turbulence.

Noisy heart can be a sign of anemia, leaky valves, or other problems. However, there are also noisy heart has nothing to do with the heart condition, and is not harmful.
