My new mare has one of those
you-can-barely-hear-it
hearts. I've got a two-tube $40 or so cheapy
cardiac
stethescope and I can't get a good enough
beat
for long enough for me to even be able to
get
a resting heart rate at 15 sec x 4, no matter
where
I place it.
Is there a particular make/type of stethescope
that
is known to be particularly good at picking up
and
magnifying the sound of heart beats? Hopefully
something cheaper than the $150+ items they sell
at the Brown University store for the med students.
I won't always have my Roger Rittenhouse
handheld
HRM with me...
