Overview

During a cardiac examination, the normal point of maximal impulse (PMI) should be routinely palpated in the left midclavicular line between the fourth and fifth ribs (normally 2-3 cm in diameter). The normal PMI represents the apical impulse of the left ventricle. A displaced PMI sheds light on abnormalities of the heart, and therefore allows for a correct diagnosis
