CV and PV Pitcher Flashcards
What do you note on characterization of peripheral pulses
how they feel and if you can feel them
how symmetric they are
What is a thrill and what does it feel like
valve problem, feels like a virbation
what position accentuates sounds best
supine, 30 degrees
leaning forward accentuates what pathology
aortic murmurs and pericarditis
left lateral decubitus accentuates what pathology
mitral murmurs
what causes a bruit
tubulance in artery outside heart itself
use bell
what is grading for murmurs
1 very faint
2 quiet, easily heard in quiet rrom
3 moderately loud
4 loud palpable thrill
5 very loud thrill and with stethoscope barely off chest
6 very loud, thrill, stethoscope off the chest
What can cause a split S1
normal variant or abnormal from RBBB or PVC
if S1 and S2 are both split what could it be
RBBB and PVC
what is a wide or fixed S2 and what could cause it
no respiratory variation
delayed pulmonic closure from stenosis or RBBB
What can cause S3
occurs at transition of rapid to slow ventricular filling
LV myocardial damage, CHF, MI (dilated CM)
sudden limitation of normal ventricular relaxation during filling stage in diastole
What are ways of early detection of dilated myocardium
BNP, pro-BNP doppler echo
Where is S4 best heard
apex in L lateral decubitus
what is going on in heart that causes S4
vibration of LV from atriak kick
What can cause S4 pathologically
thickening of ventircular walls from a higher work load, and some stiffening
HTN, aortic valve stenosis, pulmonic valve stenosis, hypertrophic CM
What is an ejection click
sound occurring at moment of maximal P with sudden tensing of a valve root
when do you hear an aortic ejection click
early systolic
at onset of L ventricular ejection, aortic root suddenly stretched
what can cause an aortic ejection click
dilated aneurysm of aortic root, coarctation of aorta, HTN
aortic valve stenosis and aortic regurg
(anything that over works root of aortic valve)
what is character of aortic stenosis murmur
systolic crescendo-decrescendo pattern, medium pitch, harsh
transmits sound to carotid aa
What are Sx of aortic stenosis
dyspnea on exertion, angina, syncope
What pathologies can lead to aortic stenosis
rheumatic disease, congenital bicuspid valve, calcification of valve
What is an Austin Flint murmur
early diasolit high pitch blowing decresendo murmur from high pressure back flow through narrow orifice. aortic regurg
what pathologies are behind aortic regurg
rheumatic disease, congenital bicuspid valve, endocarditis (strep, Staph, haemophilus)
what is a pulmonic ejection click
sudden root tensioning, very early systole
what can cause pulmonic ejection click
pulmonary HTN, aneurysm dilating the root
pulmonary valve stenosis or regurg can alter stress on the root of the valve
What is sound of pulmonic stenosis
systolic crescendo decrescendo murmur
most asymptomatic
what are Sx of pulmonic stenosis
exertional dyspnea, chest pain, syncope
What extra heart sound is heard with pulmonic stenosis
S4
What is a graham steell murmur
pulmonary regurg
soft diastolic decrescendo
what can cause pulmonary regurg
pulmonary HTN: mitral stenosis, LV failure, obstructive sleep apnea, emphysema, idiopathic pulmonary HTN
