Cardiovascular Examination

Full cardiovascular examination performed on a volunteer simulated patient on 6th January 2010 by a second year graduate entry medical student.


NB. Forgot to check for a collapsing pulse at the wrist.

I acknowledge that this is done in preparation for OSCEs, an artificial environment. However, I feel I should mention that if you take such an enormous effort in looking for signs of infective endocarditis and xanthelasma (espec. as corneal arcus) in the periphery, it shows a lack of thought process (and rather a superficial and robotic process) if major systems of these diseases are ignored (e.g abdominal/lower limb). Well done though.

@sairawaraich Yes

@soccermania90 I agree, should be palmar surface of hand, or soles of foot

[Tholius]

@sav0402 That was done at the start, parasternal impulses (vertically) & heaves/thrills (horizontally) on the chest

Great examination, covered almost everything. Was wondering what happened to examining for 'Heaves and Thrills'?
