There are multiple eponymous medical signs in the field of cardiology.
These “signs” refer to significant physical findings or
observations made by the cardiologist while evaluating the patient.
We hereby describe and summarize all the conditions in which
“moustache sign”, a commonly occurring observation, is seen in
the field of cardiology. The importance of signs like these is that
they help in earlier recognitionof the disease pathophysiology and
in the management of patients.
