Key result
Auscultatory and phonocardiographic assessment in Fallot's tetralogy showed that increasingly severe stenosis is associated with a shorter, earlier, and softer systolic murmur.
Why the study?

Does auscultatory and phonocardiographic assessment correlate with the severity of stenosis in patients with Fallot's tetralogy?
Auscultation and phonocardiography are valuable clinical tools for assessing the severity of pulmonary stenosis and fluctuations in blood flow in patients with Fallot's tetralogy.
Vogelpoel et al. (1960) conducted an observational in Fallot's tetralogy (n=62). Auscultatory and phonocardiographic assessment was evaluated on Severity of stenosis. Auscultatory and phonocardiographic assessment in Fallot's tetralogy showed that increasingly severe stenosis is associated with a shorter, earlier, and softer systolic murmur.
