29
Q

Location of aortic stenosis

A

right 2nd interspace

30
Q

Radiation of aortic stenosis

A

often to carotids, down left sternal border, even to apex

31
Q

Quality of aortic stenosis

A

often hard, may be more musical at apex

34
Q

Aids for aortic stenosis

heard best w/ patient sitting & leaning forward

35

A

pathologic

36
Q

Location of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

3rd-4th left interspace

37
Q

Radiation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

down the left sternal border to the apex, possibly to the base, but NOT to the neck

38
Q

Intensity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

variable

39
Q

Pitch of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

medium

40
Q

Quality of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

harsh

41
Q

Aids for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

decreases w/ squatting, increases w/ straining down from Valsalva & standing

42
Q

Type of murmur for pulmonic stenosis

A

pathologic

43
Q

Location of pulmonic stenosis

A

2nd-3rd left interspace

44
Q

Radiation of pulmonic stenosis

A

if loud, toward the left shoulder & neck

45
Q

Intensity of pulmonic stenosis

A

soft to loud; if loud associated w/ thrill

46
Q

Pitch of pulmonic stenosis

A

medium, crescendo-decrescendo

47

A

diastolic

49
Q

Location for aortic regurgitation

A

2nd-4th left interspace

50
Q

Radiation of aortic regurgitation

A

if loud, to apex, perhaps to right sternal border

51
Q

Intensity of aortic regurgitation

A

grade 1-3

52
Q

Pitch of aortic regurgitation

A

high, use diaphragm

53
Q

Quality of aortic regurgitation

A

blowing, decrescendo, may be mistaken for breath sounds

54
Q

Aids for aortic regurgitation

A

heard best w/ patient sitting, leaning forward w/ breath held after exhalation

55
Q

Type of murmur for mitral stenosis

A

diastolic

56
Q

Location of mitral stenosis

A

usually limited to apex

57
Q

Radiation of mitral stenosis

A

little or none

58
Q

Intensity of mitral stenosis

A

grade 1-4

59
Q

Pitch of mitral stenosis

A

decrescendo, low-pitched rumble, use bell

60
Q

Aids for mitral stenosis

A

placing bell exactly on apical impulse, turning patient into left lateral position & mild exercise all help make murmur audible; heard better in exhalation
