Handy heart sound simulator

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

A simple bedside technique of heart sound simulation using hand and stethoscope is described. The technique utilizes tissue vibration and sound conduction with the usual air column of a stethoscope to reproduce auscultatory events accurately without the distortion that often accompanies electrical production of heart sounds.
