A cardiologist or doctor can hear noises that may be caused by heart disease, but not usually CAD. They can hear rhythm issues, murmurs, extra sounds, rubs, gallops (3rd or 4th heart beat sounds) and noises that may be due to diseases of the heart valves. Obviously they can't diagnose heart disease just from listening, but there are things they can listen for and make a decision if further testing is necessary.

Hope this helps,

Jon
