20
Q

S2 sound represents

A

Closure of APV, Onset of Diastole

21
Q

Whats the location of the pulmonic area

A

LUSB - 2L ICS

22
Q

Aortic area sounds heard best

A

Aortic valve and the aorta heard best

23
Q

ABNL S4 sound general charcteristics

A

Late in diastole just before S1 - atria contract against stiff non-compliant ventricles (A-stiff-wall S412)

24
Q

S2 physiologic splitting is due to

A

Inspiration - lowers thoracic pressure - more IVC/SVC blood enters (Increasing venous return into Right ventricle) - this takes longer to empty causing delay in pulmonic valve

25
Q

S2 Physiological splitting best heard

A

Pulmonic region between 2nd and 2rd ICS at LSB

26
Q

ERB’s point sounds best heard

A

Aortic and pulmonic origins

27
Q

What happens if Pericardial fluid is too much

A

Affects right atrium and relaxation of the atrium

28
Q

ABNL sounds of ERB’s point

A

Aortic insufficiency and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

29
Q

Whats the location of the aortic area

A

RUSB - 2R ICS

30
Q

Which chamber sits most anterior in the chest

A

Right ventricle

31
Q

What space is the heart located in

A

the mediastinum

32
Q

What borders the heart superiorly

A

Ascending aorta and SVC

33
Q

S1 Physiology

A

Ventricle contraction causes pressure to exceed atrium pressure forcing MTV to close

34
Q

Superior to inferior - Right heart border formed by

A

SVC & Right atrium

35
Q

Whats the location of Mitral area

A

Medial to the L-MCL 5ICS

36
Q

Sustained PMI impulse is significant for

A

LVH

37
Q

Whats the location of ERBs point

A

LSB - 3L ICS

38
Q

Pericardium is compsed of what 2 layers

A

Visceral and parietal layers

39
Q

How much of the heart is to the left of the midline

A

2 thirds

40
Q

The heart anatomy is rotated and tilted how

A

Rotated to the left and tilted forward

41
Q

S1 sound represents

A

Closure of MTV, Onset of systole

42
Q

Whats the location of Tricuspid Area

A

LLSB

43
Q

Which chamber sits most posterior in the chest

A

Left Atrium

44
Q

ABNL sounds to hear for in Pulmonic area

A

Pulmonary regurgitation

45
Q

What borders the Posterior heart

A

Descending aorta, Esophagus, trachea

46
Q

Where is S4 best heard

A

APEX while pt in left lateral decubitus position

47
Q

Whats the location of PMI

A

Just medial to L-MCL (4-5th ICS)

48
Q

Where does pericardial fluid come from

A

Vascular space

49
Q

Superior to inferior - Left heart border formed by

A

Aortic knob, Pulmonary trunk, LA appendage, LV, apex
