Cardiac Physical Exam
Inspection (Slideshow)
The physical examination of the heart and circulation involves five principle
items: physical appearance or general inspection, the arterial and jugular
venous pulses, the movements of the heart or palpation,
estimation of organ size or percussion, and auscultation.
Examination of the chest, abdomen and extremities may also reveal abnormalities
reflective of cardiac disease.
