The purpose of this book is to arm the student of cardiology with the proper techniques and
understanding of the art and

science of the cardiac physical examination, to dispel myths and confusion and to help develop skills
required of any

astute clinician. The book The Art and Science of Cardiac Physical Examination comprise of total
fourteen chapters.

First chapter provides discussion on various reasons for which cardiac assessment is sought, cardiac
symptoms and their

appraisal, generation of working list of possible diagnoses, approach to a focused physical

examination, and practical

points to a focused cardiac physical examination. The focus of second chapter is on physiology,
assessment and the

practical points in the clinical assessment of the arterial pulse. Blood pressure and its measurement
has been provided in

third chapter. Fourth chapter presents the physiology of the normal jugular venous pulse contours
and the pathophysiology

of their alterations. Pulsations of the precordium has been discussed in fifth chapter. Heart sounds
and heart murmurs are

broadly described in sixth, seventh and eighth chapter. Ninth chapter presents methodical way of
auscultation and the

tenth chapter describes the pathophysiologic basis of symptoms and signs in cardiac disease.

of 2D, 3D and 4D

ultrasonography. A reference manual on obstetric care contributed by well-known academicians

with vast experience. A

treasure trove of information from embryology, imaging sciences and clinical medicine. Many more
babies affected by

cardiac defects will find a hope of a good life through the pages of this book. This book focuses on
issues frequently

encountered by general obstetrician, more to his interest as in fetal heart function and high risk
patient management
