Incidence of Leukaemia in Singapore, and Rarity of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia in Chinese

Abstract

character of this murmur, that of the heart sounds, and the presence or absence of a diastolic murmur are important in deciding whether or not the heart is normal. From the present findings the characteristics of presumed functional systolic murmurs may be defined, but a murmur with apparently similar characteristics may occur in congenital heart disease or none may be audible. It is worth noting that no very loud, long, or high-pitched systolic murmurs were heard or recorded in the normal infants studied, nor any diastolic murmurs.
