Preferred position to listen to Heartbeat

I like to sit up on the table taking big deep breaths

Listening to a woman's Heart while she is laying down is hot for all the Heart exam reasons, but I also love it because it lets you look at her beautiful bare legs and feet while you get to hear the most amazing thing ever!

I prefer laying down, because then my large breasts get out of the way and I can watch the doctor's face as he listens!

My doc usually done both way first she lisent while setting then laying..but i prefer laying as ir gives full view of doctor also

I like both, but slightly prefer sitting up.

I don't really have a preference, I like to be examined in both positions and have been examined in both ways in the past.

My favourite position is lying down, absolutely. I feel sort of vulnerable that way, which I enjoy. I like the way doctor is looming above me, though I also like him (and especially her) sitting by my side on the edge of the bed, as it feels strangely intimate. However, I like sitting or standing too. On such occasions I really ejoy if the doctor keeps me steady with his or her hand grasping my shoulder or forearm.

Sitting on the exam table.

Sitting up on the exam table.

Lying down...watching the doctor intently listen to the sounds of my heartbeat and murmur.

Lying on my back and her steth is on my apex as she palpating my carotids during the auscultation, it's feels very nice!

I'm always examined supine in the table, bare chest, sitting only for lung exam.

I would like to be auscultated in left lateral decubitus because in that position I clearly feel my beat agaist the diaphragm and that's pretty arousing, but being placed on that special position means that the doctor is hearing something strange so probably I would be worried too...so better during play only ;-)

Only once, during a visit by a cardiologist I was asked to sit up and lean forward, I loved that!

I also was examined standing up by a military doctor when I had to serve our army.

I like sitting up on the table nice and straight while she has me take deep breaths and lightly puts a hand on my shoulder to help me relax. Even better if I'm sort of leaning back with my palms on the table. That way, I can look down at my body and watch her move the stethoscope all over and watch my visible beat and my chest rise.

I love to be sat up first whilst he listens on bare skin.After a good 3-4 minutes the Dr will then ask me to lie down and usually at this point remove my bra too ,especially as he had listened under it before. I then lie on my back whilst he listens again for a good few minutes .

Sitting up. This was how my Heart was always listened to when I was a child....it is an image that was forever etched in my mind of a Heart exam. I especially like the fact that the doctor is looking right at my chest while they are listening to my valve sounds and I can try to figure out what they are thinking about as they can hear my Heart muscle working away under the head of their stethoscope.... Pushing hard against the diaphragm of the Stethoscope trying to jump out of my chest! I especially remember when I was young and had a female doctor listen to my POUNDING Heart, there I was as a young boy sitting in front of a strange woman , bare chested as she had her cold Stethoscope pressed over my laboring Heart muscle. I was too young to realize the feeling as being turned on , but the sight of a woman essentially being plugged into my Heart.... The sounds of my valves opening and slamming... Surging up the tubing of the Stethoscope going directly into her ear canals.....the memory doesn't just turn me on it makes me HORNY!!

I prefer to be sitting up when the doctor listens to my heart. 😃 That's how my GP usually listens. My cardiologist tends to have me sort of lay back to listen, but not all the way. He'll bring the back of the exam bed up for me, put a hand on my shoulder, and listen. Something about that reassuring hand on the shoulder is just SO amazing. 😃

I prefer lying down. That way, I can watch my doctor's face. She also will listen to my stomach. I love the feeling of the stethoscope on my tummy. Actually, I like the cold metal on my skin better, but my doctor always warms it with her hands before using it on me. Well, I am not complaining. =) I have a great doctor.

Standing shirtless.

I must say that where I work most patients are in the supine position so we tend to listen to the heart in that position for the majority of our patients. However we also use the left lateral decubitus position as the left lateral decubitus position increases murmur of mitral stenosis so it it easier to hear. As others have also stated we also we also get the patient to sit up and lean forwards as sitting up and leaning forward accentuates the second heart sound and increases the aortic insufficiency murmur.

It should be noted that all right-sided murmurs increase with inspiration (Carvallo sign). Many left-sided murmurs decrease with inspiration, but they may be very difficult to hear. Therefore, respiratory variation can help differentiate corresponding right-sided from left-sided murmurs; for example, tricuspid regurgitation from mitral regurgitation.

Shirtless standing/ sitting and lying down preferably by female Dr (Real time)

naked in any position (play time) with arms raised vertically

I prefer to listen at the tricuspid valve while my patient is laying down. When i am being listened to i prefer to be standing up

No preference really, sitting up where the doctor can put his hand on my chest as he listens to my back breathing but I LOVE lying down for anything medical!

The heart should always be listened to at all four positions. These are at the apex,the tricuspid, the mitral and the neck (Zoe referred murmurs). This should be done with patient both lying and sitting up.

If I have to give a professional answer then I say that the positions could be very many . If I have to do it for fun then I would have my patient woman standing so you can appreciate every little reaction (like the trembling of the legs ) . ; - )

I like to be checked in all different positions, but my top favorite would have to be in the supine position. It is comfortable and I can watch more closely what the doctor is doing.

For play doctor is find it incredibly sexy having the doctor auscultate me standing behind me and reaching around with his/her stethoscope to listen to me and support me with their other hand in this position. This really turns me on ?

I prefer to be laying in a supine position but with the bed raised a little. That way I can lay my head back and purposefully put myself into a more vulnerable position. Not to mention I have a visible heart beat because My heart usually pumps with such great force that it's able to move my left breast up and down so laying this way fully exposed really shows off the visible breast and sorr of demands the doctor's attention. No one's ever said anything if they've noticed or not but I know for a fact they were able to feel my heart pushing against their hand as they held the stethoscope over my chest (very easily felt in the pulmonic area which is where they tend to go). But I always wish my doctors would examine my heart more thoroughly...they never really go any furher than aortic, pulmonic and occasionally 2nd intercostal space (Erb's point or Tricuspid? Seriously I don't know which is which sometimes). I would just settle for no auscultation at times if they would just feel my heart pushing against their hand over my mitral area and apex. Which they've never done either.

I like stething when female patient is lying on the left side and the doctor is listening her apex)

I would like to auscultate the patient when he/she is lied down flat on his/her back. I would also like to be examined the same way or standing with my arms behind my head

I generally enjoy both sitting up and laying down.
