This week we explore the 'basics' when we review a recent report from the team at the Amrita Institute in Cochin, India on the accuracy and precision of the physical examination in identifying heart disease. How did the stethoscope do in comparison to the 'gold standard' of echocardiography? Is it time to 'retire' the stethoscope or does it still have an honored role in the evaluation of children with possible heart disease? How can physicians and other providers get better at physical examination? Professor Krishna Kumar, chief of the cardiac program at Amrita Institute in Cocchin shares his deep insights this week! https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjpo-2022-001595
