Modifications of Heart Murmurs and Cardiac Output During Fever

NCT04306991 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2020-03-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The combination of fever and auscultation of a heart murmur suggests the diagnosis of endocarditis. However, fever itself increases cardiac output and could therefore modify heart sounds. The aim of the FeMur study is to measure the modification of heart sounds during fever.

Heart sounds of 15 hospitalized febrile patients with a heart murmur will be recorded using an electronic stethoscope before and after resolution of fever. The records will be analyzed using a computerized application in order to quantify the intensity of heart murmurs.
