Listen To Your Heart

Hope you're not marching to a different drummer

(HealthDayNews) -- All being well, your heart will never sound anything like most of the sound files on the "Normal and Abnormal Heart Sounds" Web page, maintained by the organization Frontiers in Bioscience. It's found at this URL: http://www.bioscience.org/atlases/heart/sound/sound.htm.

Of the heart sounds represented, all but one are abnormal. The names of some of the the conditions represented sound somewhat unnerving -- like "opening snap," "mid systolic click," or "early systolic ejection."

The sounds range from about 2 seconds to 5 seconds duration.
