The regular thump of the heart, a phantom wind whistling in the veins, the roar of air entering the lungs, and the rumbling of contracting muscles, are sounds that make up a symphony of a healthy body.
An irregularity in the rhvthm or a change of pitch may indicate, to the trained medical ear, that something is wrong.
Anthony Smith takes a journey in sound around the human body and shows how changes in sound patterns may be used to detect and locate serious diseases.
