Generally it’s not required to remove bra to auscultation heart sound., except ECG or MRI. The heartbeat may not be audible in certain cardiac problems. The female should be examined infront of female attendant or nurse. U would have not allowed him to examine.

Hi First is whenever a doctor is examining a female patient he should have female attendant with him. Even female relative of patient is ok. Second you can deny to remove the clothes. It is not so that heart beat is not audible with stetho on clothes. If the heart beats not audible with stetho then he can suggest you a 2 D echo In my opinion it is not correct.
