Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death in developed countries, accounting for a quarter of UK deaths and morbidity. A cardiovascular assessment can reveal cardiac abnormalities and give an understanding of associated symptoms and risk factors to aid early diagnosis. This article, the sixth in a series on assessment and interpretation for advanced clinical practitioners, shows how to take an accurate history and complete a structured physical examination. This includes inspection, palpation and auscultation of the heart, arteries and veins.
