Abstract: 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.
