Yes, Ayurveda graduates with a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery are also trained in basic and clinical examination methods including use of a stethoscope for heart and lung examination. During BAMS education, subjects from modern medicine such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, clinical medicine, and physical examination are taught along with Ayurvedic subjects.
Heart auscultation â listening to heart sounds at different valve areas using a stethoscope â is part of standard clinical examination training. A BAMS doctor can identify basic findings such as normal heart sounds, murmurs, irregular rhythm, tachycardia, wheezing, crepitations, etc., especially if they have good clinical exposure and experience.
However, highly specialized interpretation of complex cardiac findings, advanced murmurs, echocardiography correlation, electrophysiology issues, or critical cardiac management is usually the domain of specialists such as Cardiology physicians and cardiologists because they undergo deeper specialty training after MBBS.
So practically:
Basic and moderate auscultation skills â many BAMS doctors are trained and capable
Advanced cardiac diagnosis and specialist management â cardiologists/internal medicine specialists
Clinical skill also depends greatly on the doctorâs experience, interest, training quality, and daily practice exposure â not only the degree title alone. Thank you
