AB  - A  detailed  history  and  comprehensive  bedside  physical  examination  are  the  starting  point  for  clinical  evaluation  and  provide  information  on  patient  status,  ventricular  pressures,  volumes  and  contractility,  valve  function,  and  cardiac  anatomy.  Unfortunately,  the  diagnostic  auscultation  skills  of  physicians-in-training  is  often  poor,1-3  a  situation  at  least  in  part  created  by  the  availability  of  modern  imaging  techniques.  Ideally,  a  thorough  cardiac  physical  examination  should  provide  a  diagnosis  or  limited  differential  diagnosis  and  form  the  basis  for  efficient  patient  evaluation.
