What is a bruit carotid
What does it mean if you have a bruit?
Most commonly, a bruit is caused by abnormal narrowing of an artery. Listening for a bruit in the neck with a stethoscope is a simple way to screen for narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid artery, which can be a result of cholesterol plaque accumulation.
What does a carotid bruit heard on auscultation indicate?
If an abnormal sound, called a bruit, is heard over an artery, it may reflect turbulent blood flow. That could indicate carotid artery disease. Listening for a bruit in the neck is a simple, safe, and inexpensive way to screen for stenosis (narrowing) of the carotid artery, although it may not detect all blockages.
Does an AV graft have a bruit and thrill?
In a normal functioning AV graft, the thrill should be present only at the arterial anastomosis. The pulse should be soft and easily compressible. The bruit should be low pitched and continuous. Venous stenosis changes the hemodynamics in the AV graft. Secondly, what's a bruit and thrill? A bruit is an audible vascular sound associated with

The carotid bruit clarify whether an event was vascular or not, identify the cause as likely to be due to athero- matous stenosis, and the possibility that the stenosis may be severe enough to justify carotid endarterectomy. However, not all noises in the neck indicate serious arterial disease.
The asymptomatic carotid bruit--operate or not?
asymptomatic bruit is one which is still unsolved and the subject of considerable controversy. By definition a cervical carotid bruit is one well localized to the midcervical region just behind and below the angle of the mandible. The differential diagnosis of cervical bruit includes physiological murmurs of no significance; venous hum ...
Carotid Bruits and Cerebrovascular Disease Risk
bruits are poor predictors of either underlying carotid stenosis or stroke risk in asymptomatic patients. We investigated whether the presence of a carotid bruit is associated with increased risk for transient ischemic attack, stroke, or death by stroke (stroke death).
