Hi
I have been doing UW for last 2 months,, But the great shame is that Im not able to identify any kind of abnormal heart sound/ murmur at all I tried to understand the abnormality by hearing repeatedly, but never able to pick the wright one I don't know what to do. Any suggestions will be a great help.

hi sal10! I too is having a hard time identifying the sounds and i think everyone does also. i think the best thing to do is try to pick up some clue on the clinical vignette and you would be able to answer the heart sounds. that's what im doing. i was able to answer all the heart sounds (believe it or not) on first attempt without actually knowing what i am hearing. i dont know if im just lucky and were able to get it but i believe I was able to get the answer based on the vignette given. best of luck...

Hi tutubi

Thanks a lot,, I think you are wright, we have to read to vignette carefully,, I also noticed it that there are some clue.. but i was just thinking that is it possible to identify a murmur just listening the sound?! Im sure its really hard..

Thanks again,, hope you are doing fine with your preparation, All the best.
