\"\"<\/a>According to a 2004 study in Chest<\/a>, the ability of medical students to recognize heart murmurs is poor (20%), and does not improve with subsequent years of training.<\/p>

Five hundred repetitions of four basic cardiac murmurs significantly improved auscultatory proficiency in recognizing basic cardiac murmurs by medical students. These results suggest that cardiac auscultation is, in part, a technical skill.<\/p>
