Cardiac Flashcards
S1-lub
systolic, closure of mitral and tricuspid valves. Best heard at apex
S2-dub
diastolic, closure of aortic and pulmonic valves. Best heard at base
S3
diastolic, rapid distension of ventricular walls causing vibration. Best heard at apex
S4
systolic, blood rushing past valves, papillary muscles, ventricular wall (atrial kick). Best heard at apex
Physiological splitting
S2 - A2 (aortic valve closure)/P2 (pulmonic valve closure). pressure on the right
Physiological splitting
S2 - A2 (aortic valve closure)/P2 (pulmonic valve closure). pressure on the right
RA chamber pressure
RV chamber pressure
LA chamber pressure
LV chamber pressure
Murmur
sound made by blood rushing through narrow/leaky valve
Thrill
Buzzing/vibratory sensation-blood flow thru narrow opening (aortic stenosis, VSD)
Lift/heave
Vigorous cardiac impulse (ventricular hypertrophy, hyperdynamic ventricular activity)
What do you do if you feel a thrill
Auscultate for murmur
PMI
pulsation of LV
Bell
Low pitched sound (S3, S4). Light pressure
Bell
Low pitched sound (S3, S4). Light pressure
S2-dub
diastolic, closure of aortic and pulmonic valves
S3
diastolic, rapid distension of ventricular walls causing vibration
S4
systolic, blood rushing past valves, papillary muscles, ventricular wall (atrial kick)
Pulsus alternans
Alternating strong & weak beats - LV systolic impairment
RA chamber pressure
RV chamber pressure
What murmurs can you hear when a pt leans forward
Aortic/pulmonic regurgitation (soft murmurs at the base)
LV chamber pressure
Murmur
sound made by blood rushing through narrow/leaky valve
