Atrial fibrillation
Cannon ‘a’ waves
Complete heart block
AV dissociation
Ventricular arrhythmias
- Tapping apex beat
- Loud first heart sound
- Rumbling mid-diastolic murmur
- louder in left lateral position on expiration
Mitral stenosis
- Harsh pansystolic murmur - lower left sternal edge
- Left parasternal heave
Ventricular septal defect
- Narrow pulse pressure
- Soft second heart sound
- Ejection systolic murmur heard in aortic area radiating to carotids and apex
Aortic stenosis
- Large systolic ‘v’ waves
- Pansystolic murmur - lower left sternal edge
- best heard in inspiration
Tricuspid regurgitation
- Displaced, volume overloaded apex beat
- Soft first heart sound
- Pansystolic murmur at apex radiating to axilla
- louder in expiration
Mitral regurgitation
- Wide pulse pressure
- Displaced, volume-overloaded apex beat
- Early diastolic murmur at lower sternal edge
- best heard in expiration leaning forward
