Abstract:
Takayasu's Arteritis is defined as inflammatory disease of the large blood vessels with unknown cause mostly affecting the aorta and its main branches. The patients diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis are reported to have complaint of chronic dizziness. However, literature lacks detailed clinical evaluation of the auditory vestibular function in such patients. The current study documents the findings of auditory and vestibular evaluations in a rare syndrome. It was observed that patients with Takayasu's arteritis had abnormal auditory and vestibular evoked potentials.

Normal Heart Sounds
S1 (First Heart Sound)-
S1 is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular valves), marking the beginning of systole.
S2 (Second Heart Sound)-
S2 is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar valves), marking the end of the systole.
