T HE development of a method" 2 to obtain triple equisensitive pressure pulses in the left atrium, left ventricle and aorta in the heart exposed at operation, and to display them together, with the same baseline, made it possible to visualize the mechanical events of the cardiac cycle and to measure their phases with great accuracy. It was apparent that the method lent itself naturally to a study of the genesis of heart sounds and murmurs, provided it were possible to record the sounds simultaneously and with sufficient fidelity.
