Echocardiography

submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 10/28/2012
This procedure is performed to evaluate the valves and chambers of the heart in a noninvasive manner, to aid the diagnosis of heart disease, to detect atrial tumors or pericardial effusions (abnormal fluid collection around the heart), or to evaluate cardiac wall motion and function after a heart attack.

Physical Examination - Breath Sounds

Lung sounds are usually examined by listening with a stethoscope. Normal lung sounds occur in all parts of the chest area, including above the collarbones and as low as the bottom of the rib cage. When listening to the lungs, the categories of findings include normal breath sounds, decreased or absent breath sounds, and abnormal breath sounds.

What is a Physical Examination?

submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 10/28/2012
When you receive a physical examination, all of the major organ systems or the organ system that is causing a problem can be examined. Just as in the neurological exam, a well performed and interpreted physical examination can save the patient hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars.
