Cardiac tremor

Cardiac tremor refers to a slight tremor that touches the base of the palm. It resembles a cat's wheezing, so it is also called "cat asthma", which is one of the characteristics of organic heart disease. No matter where the tremor is found, it means that there is severe stenosis or arteriovenous shunt in this part, and normal heart will not have tremor. Therefore, the occurrence of tremor has important clinical significance, which is more common in certain congenital heart disease and heart valve stenosis.
