Most of the information upon which prevailing medical teaching rests is derived from bedside observation correlated with postmortem findings. Little careful experimentation, either in man or animals, has been undertaken. Many simple questions concerning murmurs remain unanswered. Even trained experts in cardiology find great difficulty in explaining the mechanism of systolic murmurs, or in appraising their significance. This has been brought to our attention in a striking fashion during the present...Bibliography1. LEVINE SA: The systolic murmur: its clinical significance, Jr. Am. Med. Assoc., 1933, ci, 436-438.
