Abnormal Heart Sounds Flashcards
S3 heart sound
Occurs from limited rapid filling phase of diastole
S4 heart sound
Occurs during systole and a wave of atrial pulse pressure
S1 heart sound
Closure of mitral valve
S2 heart sound
Closure of aortic valve
Split S2 listening post
Best heard between the 2nd and 3rd intercostal space
Timing of S2 split
Best heard during late inspiration
A2 with increased intensity
Occurs in systemic hypertension due to increased preload
A2 decreased or absent
Calcific aortic stenosis du to immobility
P2 with increased intensity
Suspect Pulmonary HTN
Dilated cardiomyopathy
ASD
P2 with decreased intensity
Increased AP diameter of the chest associated with aging
Pulmonary stenosis
Causes of delayed closure of pulmonic valve
Pulmonic stenosis
RBBB
Causes of early closure of pulmonic valve
Mitral regurg
Prolonged right ventricular systole
Seen in ASD
Cause of delayed A2 in expiration
LBBB
An early systolic sound is from
Halting of semilunar valves
A aortic valve can be heard at base and apex
A pulmonic valve heard best at 2/3 L ICS
