Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for early screening of cardiovascular diseases through dual stethoscopic and Doppler detection with means ensuring coherence between the two types of detection. According the invention, the medical screening and diagnosis apparatus comprises a sound transmitting linking conduit ( 3, 33 ) connected, on one end, to a housing ( 100 ) forming at least partly an ear trumpet ( 1 ') provided with a membrane ( 2 ), and, on the other end, at least an earphone ( 4 ) for listening to a stethoscopic signal from the ear trumpet ( 1 '). The invention is characterized in that the housing ( 100 ) of the apparatus contains at least an ultrasound probe ( 8 ) designed to enable convergence of reception of the ultrasonic and stethoscopic signals. The probe is connected to a transducer processing circuit ( 37 ) capable of supplying, from a Doppler signal, an audio signal by coupling the processing circuit to a loudspeaker ( 34 ) in contact with the ear trumpet for stethoscopic-type listening, and a video signal by coupling the processing circuit ( 37 ) to display means ( 39 ) to provide visual information.

Abstract: A defibrillator including an output stage, which is controlled by a control circuit for emitting a biphasic defibrillation pulse and which has an H-bridge between a positive pole and a negative pole of an energy accumulator device. A patient electric circuit is provided in a shunt arm having at least one inductive resistor. This invention achieves a reliable functioning of the defibrillator and thus to regulate the patient current in one direction, only the switching element, which is assigned to this current direction and which is located in the H-limb that points toward the negative pole, is controlled with the higher frequency, whereas in order to regulate the patient current in the other direction, only the switching element, which is assigned to this other current direction and which is located in the H-limb that points toward the positive pole, is controlled with the higher frequency. This invention provides at least one diode that is arranged in an antiparallel manner with regard to the switching elements, which are controlled with the higher frequency, so that via each diode and the switching element, which is constantly closed in the respective phase, the patient current is maintained in its respective direction.
