yfirleitt vægur var míturlokulekinn oftast sam-
fara kölkun í ósæðarloku sem gat þá gefið
hærra óhljóð.
Slagbilsóhljóð eru algeng meðal aldraðra.
Ósæðarþröng og míturlokuleki eru tíð en ós-
æðarlokukölkun þó algengust í þeim sem hafa
slagbilsóhljóð. Næmi klínískrar skoðunar til
greiningar lokusjúkdóma er ábótavant. Pó það
sé sínu skárst fyrir ósæðarþröng er ekki treyst-
andi á klíníska skoðun til útilokunar á henni.
Tvívíddar- og Dopplerómun af hjarta er því
mikilvæg til greiningar lokusjúkdóma, sérstak-
lega ef sjúklingurinn hefur hjartakveisu eða
hjartabilunareinkenni.
