5 listed

A
  • Timing *systole vs diastole)
  • Intensity
  • Location
  • Radiation
  • Frequency (pitch)

Q

On the pressure-volume loop, when would one hear the murmur of aortic stenosis?

A
41
Q

What is this?

A

Aortic stenosis

42
Q

Where is aortic stenosis best heard?

A

right second intercostal space on the sternal border

43
Q

How is the sound of Aortic stenosis described?

A

as a crescendo-decrescendo systolic ejection murmur

44
Q

What is this?

A

aortic regurgitation

45
Q

Where is aortic regurgitation best heard

A

along the right sternal border in the 2nd intercostal space

46
Q

How is the sound of aortic regurgitation described?

A

It is described as an early diastolic decrescendo murmur

47
Q

aortic regurgitation can be present with?

A

a bounding pulse or wide pressure pulse

48
Q

common causes of aortic regurgitation?

A
  • Bicuspid aortic valve
  • endocarditis
  • Rheumatic fever
  • Aortic root dilation
49
Q

What is this?

A

S3 heart sound

This is the the sound of the S3 heart sound. It is heard normally in young adults and children, in pregnancy and athletes. It is abnormal older adults and may signify heart failure or cardiomyopathy.

50
Q

Best patient position to hear the S3 heart sound?

A
  • Left lateral decubitus position
  • on the cardiac apex in the 5th intercostal space
51
Q

S3 heart sound should be listed to with which part of the stethoscope?

A

The bell and should be faint or absent with the diaphragm

52
Q

S3 heart sound is produced by?

A

blood coming into contact with a compliant ventricle

53
Q

S3 heart sound in elderly may signify?

A
  • Heart failure
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Severe mitral or tricuspid regurgiation
54
Q

How is the S3 heart sound described?

A

The S3 has a low pitch vs the split S2 which is high pitched

55
Q

What is this?

A

Holosystolic murmur

56
Q

Holosystolic murmur is produced by?

A

Typically caused by mitral & Tricuspid regurgitation

or

Ventricular septal defects

57
Q

Holosystolic murmur is best heard where?

A
58
Q

Holosystolic murmur radiation?

A
59
Q

Holosystolic murmur sound is described as

A

a high pitched blowing murmur

60
Q

Holosystolic murmur common causes

A
  • Mitral valve disease
  • Rheumatic fever
  • mitral valve prolapse
  • infective endocarditis
  • congenital abnormality through a hole in the interventricular septum
61
Q

What is this?

A

Normal heart sound

62
Q

What is this?

A

S4 heart sound

63
Q

Atrial gallop AKA

A

S4 heart sound

64
Q

The best place to hear the S4 heart sound?

A
  • lateral left decubitus position
  • with the bell of the stethoscope
65
Q

The S4 heart sound is a sign of?

A

Diastolic heart failure

66
Q

The S4 heart sound is produced by?

A

when the atria contract forcing blood into a non-compliant ventricle

often heard in severe left ventricular hypertrophy

67
Q

often heard in severe left ventricular hypertrophy

A

S4 heart sound

68
Q

Often heard during active cardiac ischemia

A

S4 heart sound

69
Q

What is this?

A

Mitral stenosis

70
Q

Mitral stenosis is best heard?

A
71
Q

Mitral stenosis is produced by?

A

rapid closing of thickened mitral valves

caused by the valve cusps snaping into the left ventricle

72
Q

Mitral stenosis sound is described as?

A

low-pitched decrescendo-crescendo rumbling diastolic murmur

73
Q

Mitral stenosis becomes louder by?

A

valsalva maneuver, squating or activities that increase afterload

74
Q
