Detailed explanation-1: -A thrill is a vibration felt upon palpation of a blood vessel or over the precordium. The examiner may perceive a systolic and diastolic component to the vibration (Bickley et al., 2021). The presence of a thrill suggests stenosis, either of the underlying vessel or it may be transmitted from another source.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bruit, also called vascular murmur, is the abnormal sound generated by turbulent flow of blood in an artery due to either an area of partial obstruction or a localized high rate of blood flow through an unobstructed artery.
Detailed explanation-3: -A murmur is described as a soft blowing or gentle swooshing sound when auscultated. Murmurs can be heard during diastole (after S2) or systole (between S1 and S2) and can be high-or low-pitched sounds (see Differentiating murmurs).
