Abstract

How to cite this article: Permin H, Norn S. Stethoscope Over 200 years. J Pulmonol Respir Res. 2019; 3: 001-008. https://doi.org/10.29328/journal.jprr.1001010 With the invention of the stethoscope, in the early 1800s, a better diagnosis of heart and lung disorders was opened up. Through the stethoscope's 200-year history, there has been a signi icant development of the stethoscopy from the use of the simple monaural earpiece to the binaural stethoscope, followed by the electronic stethoscope, which, together with other studies, has enabled a thorough diagnosis of these disorders. Here is a glimpse of this story.
