Abstract

Atrial flutter sounds are occasionally audible on bedside examination especially in patients with slow ventricular rates. A patient is described with audible flutter sounds and an illustrative phonocardiogram is presented. The value of careful auscultation in patients with atrial flutter is re-confirmed.
