How about: "normal rhythm"?
Joseph Tein Jun 22, 2013:
Regular heart sounds. I don't agree with "rhythmic" here ... I don't think it's used in English medical writing. Here's a previous related KudoZ question: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/medical_general...
DLyons Jun 22, 2013:
@Emma Thanks - "without murmurs" would certainly be overtranslation here. I just meant it in an explanatory way.
Emma Goldsmith Jun 22, 2013:
I'd go with DLyons' suggestion (dropping "without murmurs")

Rhythmic sounds, without murmurs?

CA: NORMAL HEART SOUNDS WITH REGULAR HEART RHYTHM

La frase está mal redactada en español, los ruidos (tonos) cardíacos no tienen ritmo. Entiendo como cardióloga que se refiere a que no existen arritmias en la auscultación, o sea que el ritmo cardíaco es regular.

Rhythmic sounds

See discussion.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Joseph Tein : I don't think so ... too literal, and you find very few instances of on native English-speaking reports on the internet . I use "regular heart sounds" for this

Rhythmic tones

Just talked to my husband, he is a physician, and he told me that rhythmic sounds would be the most appropriate. Rhythmic sounds can have murmurs also, so "without murmurs" is out of question. Normal or regular can also be used, but it doesn't describe the tones properly, rhythm being one of the important qualities of the tones.
