English translation:muffled heart sounds
Explanation:
Muffled heart sounds result when fluid or tissue acts as a barrier between the heart and the stethoscope. For example, obesity can muffle heart sounds because the fat acts as an insulating layer, dampening sound so that it is difficult to appreciate on auscultation.
