Pansystolic, crescendo-decrescendo, mid-late diastolic etc. All these fancy sounding terms but in the end, they’re all just a murmur. So what’s the difference?

Join us next Monday 25th at 7PM where we’ll have an overview of valvular heart diseases and infective endocarditis! Portfolio certificates provided after the session ✌️
