If it helps anyone remember it, RILE is a good mnemonic for knowing that Right-sided valve murmurs are louder with Inspiration (RI) and Left-sided are louder with expiration (LE).

I had my OSCE exam yesterday. And I must say, this helped me a lot. Although I missed a bit of the assessment, but I think I did well. Thank you so much. ❤

Poor James. Severe MR, AS and some of the worst AR I’ve ever heard. It’s a miracle he looks so comfortable at rest. Wish him all the best.

PLEASE HELP! When he does the accentuation manoeuvres for the aortic regurgitation why does he put the stethoscope on the left sternal edge? Should it not be the right sternal edge of the second intercostal space? Isn't that where the aortic valve is heard best?
Thank you! Great video :)

[Nurse-Grace]

So helpful for my DNP skills test out!! Thank you so much for instructing at a reasonable pace and for providing specifics for landmarks and normal vs abnormal sounds and findings! Excellent content!! 🩺

What are we meant to feel for in a normal person when assessing the collapsing pulse

[kryztofsharpe]

They sometimes recommend palpating for dextrocardia before looking for the Apex. Most times it is unnecessary but it helps on the of chance it shows up and consultants like to see you do it.

[marcusm]

These comments have me realizing that people actually watch these for the educational content. I watch them because they’re relaxing.

So helpful, thank you!! Should we also palpate poptilteal, posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis artery? Also, is it a correct method to check for DVT by pressing on patient's shin and looking for tenderness on their face? And should we also check for temperature on legs just like arms?

Is it general practise to also inspect for Cachexia in CVS patients? If yes then what's the reason with a brief pathophysiology if possible
