Frequently asked questions

The template covers four major valvular diseases: AR, AS, MS, and MR. Each branch includes etiology, physical exam findings, severity grading, complications, and treatment indications, with specific node names like 'Austin-Flint Murmur' and 'Carvallo's sign'.

Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then review each branch systematically. Use the severity grading tables (e.g., 'Mild: 1.5-2 cm2' for MS) to memorize thresholds. Customize by adding your own notes or mnemonics.

Yes, the Xmind template is fully editable. You can modify nodes, add images, or export as PDF/image for printing. It's designed for digital study but works well as a printed reference.

The Austin-Flint Murmur is a diastolic rumbling murmur heard in severe AR due to diastolic displacement of the anterior mitral leaflet. The template distinguishes it from MS-related murmurs.

Absolutely. You can edit the numeric values (e.g., 'Central jet width >60%') to match updated guidelines or local protocols. Simply click on the node and type your changes.
