The invention concerns an apparatus for early screening of cardiovascular
diseases through dual stethoscopic and Doppler detection with means
ensuring coherence between the two types of detection. According the
invention, the medical screening and diagnosis apparatus comprises a
sound transmitting linking conduit (3, 33) connected, on one end, to a
housing (100) forming at least partly an ear trumpet (1') provided with a
membrane (2), and, on the other end, at least an earphone (4) for
listening to a stethoscopic signal from the ear trumpet (1'). The
invention is characterized in that the housing (100) of the apparatus
contains at least an ultrasound probe (8) designed to enable convergence
of reception of the ultrasonic and stethoscopic signals. The probe is
connected to a transducer processing circuit (37) capable of supplying,
from a Doppler signal, an audio signal by coupling the processing circuit
to a loudspeaker (34) in contact with the ear trumpet for
stethoscopic-type listening, and a video signal by coupling the
processing circuit (37) to display means (39) to provide visual
information.
