| Physical Finding | Associated cardiac condition(s) |
| Apex beat | |
| Thrusting / heaving (parasternal) | Left ventricular hypertrophy |
| Sustained | Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy |
| Tapping / palpable S1 | Mitral stenosis |
| Double systolic apical impulse | Dyskinetic or aneurysmal left ventricle, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy |
| Displaced lateral to mid-clavicular line | Dilated cardiomyopathy, aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation |
| Absent apex beat | Pericardial effusion, emphysema, obesity |
| Left parasternal lift | Severe mitral regurgitation, left atrial enlargement, or ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm |
| Right parasternal lift | Severe tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular hypertrophy |
| Systolic apical thrill | Mitral regurgitation |
| Diastolic apical thrill | Mitral stenosis |
| Left parasternal thrill (Intercostal space 3 or 4) | Ventricular septal defect |
| Systolic basal thrill | Aortic stenosis, pulmonary stenosis |
| Diastolic basal thrill | Aortic regurgitation, pulmonary regurgitation |
| Chest wall | |
| Local costochondral& muscle tenderness (with direct pressure over joint) | Costal chondritis |
| Pain localized to swollen costochondral&costosternal joints | Tietze’s syndrome |
| Abdomen | |
| Pulsatile liver | Tricuspid regurgitation |
| Right upper quadrant tenderness | Acute onset of right heart failure |
| Hepatomegaly | Right heart failure, tricuspid regurgitation, constrictive pericarditis |
| Hepatojugular / abdominojugular reflux - Sustained rise in jugular venous pulse on pressing the right upper quadrant or central abdomen for >=10 seconds | Right heart failure, tricuspid regurgitation, constrictive pericarditis |
