Medical Name of the "lub-dub" Sounds? Posted: 09-26-05 16:16pm


Hi, just wondering if anyone knew the medical name or the actual name of the lub-dub sounds you hear when doing a blood pressure test... Thanks if anyone can tell me.

Diastolic pressure and systolic pressure? That's the 120/80 numbers you see. Technically, the lub dub sound is just your pulse or the sound of blood rushing back into your veins.
