🧠 Medical Mnemonic of the Day! ❤️
Topic: Remembering the Auscultation Points for Heart Valves on the chest wall.
Use the word: "APe To Man"
This gives you the order, from top-right to bottom-left:
A - Aortic (2nd right intercostal space, sternal border)
P - Pulmonary (2nd left intercostal space, sternal border)
T - Tricuspid (4th left intercostal space, sternal border)
M - Mitral (5th left intercostal space, mid-clavicular line)
Visual Tip: The points roughly trace the shape of an upside-down apple with the stem at the top.
