Cardiovascular Flashcards
Irregularly Irregular Pulse
Atrial Fibrillation
Slow-rising pulse
Aortic Stenosis
Collapsing Pulse
Aortic Regurgitation
Bounding Pulse
Acute CO2 retention, Hepatic failure, sepsis
Radiofemoral Delay
Coarction of aorta
Jerky Pulse
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, Mitral Regurgitation
Pulsus bisferiens
Mixed aortic valve disease, Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
Pulsus Paradoxus
Constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade
Raised, Fixed JVP
Superior vena cava obstruction
JVP rising on inspiration
Cardiac Tamponade, Constrictive pericarditis
Large v waves
Tricuspid regurgitation
Absent a waves
atrial fibrillation
Cannon a waves
Complete heart block, atrioventricular (AV) dissociation, ventricular arrhythmias
Describe mitral stenosis
Tapping Apex Beat
Loud first heart sound
Rumbling mid-diastolic murmur at apex (louder in left lateral position on expiration)
Describe Aortic Regurgitation
Wide pulse pressure
Displaced, volume overloaded apex beat
Early diastolic murmur at lower sternal edge (best heard in expiration leaning forward)
Describe Mitral Regurgitation
Displaces, volume overloaded apex beat
Soft first heart sound
Pansystolic murmur at apex radiating to axilla (louder in expiration)
Describe Tricuspid Regurgitation
Large systolic v waves
Pansystolic murmur lower left sternal edge (best heard un inspiration)
Describe Aortic Stenosis
Narrow Pulse pressure
Heaving undisplaced apex beat
Soft second heart sound
Ejection systolic murmur heard in aortic area radiating to carotids and apex
Describe Ventricular Septal Defect
Harsh pansystolic murmur lower left sternal edge
Left parasternal heave
Malar (cheek) flush
Mitral stenosis
Pulsatile hepatomegaly
Tricuspid regurgitation
Carotid pulsation (corrigans sign)
Aortic regurgitation
Head nodding (de musset’s sign)
Aortic regurgitation
Capillary pulsations in nail bed (quincke’s sign)
Aortic regurgitation
