When does bruit suggest?

  • Bruit suggests partial obstruction of an artery or transmission of a cardiac murmur
  • Bruit is heard if the obstruction in an artery is equal to or more than 50%
  • If the obstruction is equal to 80%, a continuous bruit is heard
  • If obstruction is more than 80%, no bruit heard
