Listening to Heart is Bogus

Dr. Keith Hopcroft in The Times (UK) rates the bullshit factor of doctors listening to our hearts as HIGH.

Listening to your heart provides information about the state of your valves, but virtually nothing else. And these valves are only rarely implicated in most heart problems. For example, heart attacks and angina are caused by blocked and narrowed coronary arteries respectively, neither of which provides any clues through the stethoscope.

Stethoscopes? So last century.
