65
Q 
S1 
1 axn of valves 
2 sound produced
3 best heard (where & with what)
4 signals
A
  1. Closure of the atrioventricular valves
    Tricuspid and Mitral (AV valves)
  2. “Lub” of the lub-dub
  3. Best heard at the apex & with the diaphragm
    4 Signals beginning of systole
66
Q 
s2
1 axn of valves 
2 sound produced
3 best heard (where & with what)
4 signals
A
  1. Closure of the semilunar valves & Aortic and pulmonic
  2. “Dub” of the lub-dub
  3. Best heard at the base with the diaphragm
    4 Signals the end of systole
67
Q

define Protodiastolic

A

Early diastole is the passive filling phase of diastole

68
Q

Atrial systole or Atrial kick

A

End of diastole -> atria contract and push last amount of blood into ventricles

69
Q

Effects of respiration on S2

A

During inspiration, intrathoracic pressure is decreased. This increases venous blood return to the right side of the heart which increases the right ventricular stroke volume. The increased volume prolongs right ventricular systole and DELAYS closure of the pulmonic valve. Left side has less blood, thus aortic valve closes earlier than pulmonic valve. Can hear two components separately. Referred to as a split S2.

70
Q

When is S3 normal & abnormal (3)

A

norm: children
abnorm: Fluid overload, decreased compliance of the ventricle
Can occur with high output states

71
Q

When can you hear an S4

A

Normal after exercise

Abnormal: decreased compliance of the ventricles, hypertension

72
Q

norm jvp

A

2 cm or less with pt. at 30 degrees

73
Q

abnorm jvp

A

3 cm or more with pt. at 30 degrees

74
Q

If you note an elevated JVP reading, you should perform_______________

A

hepatojuglar reflex

75
Q

Heave or lift

A

Forceful thrusting seen on the chest wall.
L ventricular lift -> apex
Right ventricular lift -> sternal border

76
Q

Diaphragm of the stethoscope (3 sounds)

A

Normal heart sounds, split S2, aortic or pulmonic valve murmurs

77
Q

Bell of the stethoscope (3 sounds)

A

S3, S4 (also called diastolic sounds), mitral and tricuspid valve murmurs

78
Q

How do you evaluate a murmur? (8)

A 
Timing: diastolic or systolic
Loudness: grade I through VI
Pitch: high, medium or low
Pattern: crescendo, decrescendo, diamond-shaped
Quality: musical, blowing, harsh, rumbling
Location
Radiation
Posture
