Cardiac Cycle and Valvular Heart Disease Flashcards
In young healthy individuals is atrial contraction a significant source of ventricular filling?
no
When is atrial contraction a significant source of ventricular filling?
when ventricular filling is reduced because of reduced compliance
What is the S1 sound produced by? (sound associated with it)
the “lub” sound
closure of mitral and tricuspid valves
What is the S2 sound produced by? (also sound associated with it)
the “dub” sound
closure of the aortic(A2) and pulmonic sounds (P2 component)
What is physiological splitting of S2?
during inspiration due to increased output of rt heart physiological splitting in which the pulmonic valve closes later than the aortic valve occurs
What is a widened split?
Upon inspiration, the natural physiological split, or delay in pulmonic valve closure is even more delayed
Meaning of a widened split?
pulmonic stenosis
right bundle branch block
What is a fixed split?
When you hear S2 split both upon inspiration and expiration
Meaning of a fixed split?
ASD; L-R shunt
What is paradoxical splitting?
When the pulmonary valve closes before the aortic valve; you are technically hearing P2 close first even though it has a natural delay so P2 upon inspiration gets closer to timing for aortic valve to close and now you hear 1 sound
You are hearing the aortic valve close later instead of sooner
What is the meaning of paradoxical splitting?
left bundle branch block
advanced aortic stenosis
What is the S3 sound?
It occurs just after the opening of the AV valves during rapid filling of the ventricle
Usually produced by expansion compliant ventricle
normal in children
in older adults signifies volume overload
What is S4 sound?
coincides with atrial contraction; is produced when atrium contracts against a stiff ventricle
What are examples of when you hear an S4 sound?
concentric hypertrophy, aortic stenosis, and myocardial infarction
Where is the aortic auscultation point?
second intercostal space on rt side, and mid-clavicular line
What is the pulmonic ausculatation point?
second intercostal space on the left side, about mid-clavicular line
