Sounds like, "The PMI 2L SV."  Is this correct?  Thank you. 

Both heart tones present without murmurs, lifts, heels or gallops.

Is that right?

Heart: Irregular rhythm with normal S1-S2 without murmurs, gallops or friction rubs.

I'm not sure if he said " a regular rhythm or irregular rhythm."

I figured I'd come to the you guys for the answer. You always come through for me. Thanks.

She states Heart: Adynamic s/l re-cor-gum

I know I have heard this before, but I am not finding it thanks

Catheterization complete at this point which revealed normal coronary arteries with LV systolic function normal and an injection s/l *pression* of 65%.  

Could be pressure, but not sure if that is appropriate...

Thanks in advance.

In heart exam:  Heart: regular rate and rhythm.  Loud S/L V2.  I know there are S1, S2, but never heard V being used before and I have never done cardiology.

Thanks

Thanks for the info.  I think it is P2.  He is a ESL Doc. 
I really appreciate it.  I think you helped me last week on another word.  Thanks again.

Patient had an OPCAB with left IM graft to LAD, etc.

Sentence reads. IMA was measured and beveled....A soft dog was placed proximally.  Soft dog?  This is an ASR report and that's what the software had put in and that is exactly what I am hearing too.  I am way too tired to be doing this.  Anybody?

I have a doctor who very distinctly dictates that the heart is "regularly regular" - for just about every single patient. I don't think this is how it should be typed and I have been leaving blanks.

Is there a "regularly regular" rhythm - wouldn't it just be "regular"? He is not saying any of the other rhythms, i.e. irregularly irregular, regularly irregular, etc.

Thanks for any input.
