Descriptor Spanish: Soplos Cardíacos
Descriptor soplos cardíacos
Scope note: Ruidos cardíacos causados por vibraciones resultantes del flujo de sangre a través del corazón. Los murmullos cardíacos se pueden examinar mediante la AUSCULTACIÓN CARDÍACA, analizando su intensidad (6 grados), duración, momento (sistólico, diastólico o continuo), localización, transmisión, y calidad (musical, vibrante, soplante, etc).
