Disease relevance of Phonocardiography

• Doxorubicin cardiomyopathy: evaluation by phonocardiography, endomyocardial biopsy, and cardiac catheterization [1].
• Nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mimicking mitral stenosis. Documentation by echocardiography, phonocardiography and intracardiac pressure and sound recordings [2].
• The importance of intracardiac phonocardiography for the differential diagnosis of ventricular septal defect and ductus arteriosus apertus in pulmonary hypertension in infancy [3].

High impact information on Phonocardiography

• Using a stethoscope, we relied on our skills in inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, as well as echocardiography and phonocardiography to diagnose a patient whose murmur was very reminiscent of the D-sharp pizzicato in the Cello Sonata in F, Opus 99, by Johannes Brahms [4].
• The hemodynamic effects of rilmenidine (S 3341) were evaluated noninvasively by aortic Doppler velocimetry, M-mode echocardiography and phonocardiography in hypertensive patients treated for 28 days [5].
• Clinical study on the flow murmurs at the defect area of atrial septal defect by means of intracardiac phonocardiography [6].
• Auscultation and phonocardiography have been revealed tumor "plop" (P) as an early diastolic phenomenon, but the late "plop" has not be described [7].
• Intracardiac phonocardiography in these five patients failed to reveal transmission of right ventricular gallop sounds to the superior vena cava [8].
