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.
