A

ASD

23
Q

Heart sounds: what is associated with a pericardial effusion?

A

pericardial friction rub

24
Q

Heart sounds: what is associated with a pericardial knock?

A

Pericarditis

25
Q

Where can you best hear an aortic murmur?

A

Right upper sternal border

26
Q

Where can you best hear a pulmonic murmur?

A

Left upper sternal border

27
Q

Where can you best hear a tricuspid murmur?

A

Left lower sternal border

28
Q

Where can you best hear a mitral murmur?

A

Apex

29
Q

What are some causes of a systolic murmur?

A
  • Obstruction to the outflow tract (semilunar valves)
  • Incompetent AV valves
  • Structural deformities of the aorta or pulmonary artery
  • Ventricular septal defect (VSD) - holosystolic
30
Q

What are some causes of a diastolic murmur?

A
  • Incompetent semilunar or stenotic AV valves.
  • Early diastolic murmurs usually result from insufficiency of a semilunar valve or dilation of the valvular ring.
  • Mid and late diastolic murmurs are generally caused by narrowed, stenotic mitral or tricuspid valves that obstruct blood flow.
31
Q

A

S3

32
Q

S3 may also be referred to as ____ ____.

A

Ventricular gallop

33
Q

An S3 sound may be normal finding in those under age ____.

A

Q

S3 is the ____ wave.

A

E

36
Q

S4 is the ____ wave.

A

A

37
Q

What sound is caused by vibration of the valves, supporting structure, and ventricular walls during the second phase of rapid ventricular filling in late diastole?

A

S4

38
Q

What are some conditions that cause an S3 sound?

A

-High cardiac output
- Large left to right shunts
- Anemia
- Valve regurg
- Cardiomyopathy

39
Q

  • Significant semilunar valve stenosis
  • CAD
  • Acute MR
41
Q

Are S3 and S4 low or high pitch?

A

Low pitch
