Harvey Flashcards
what generates heart sounds?
blood velocity changes / valve closure
what are the good and bad causes of a split heart sound?
good - larger volume
bad - slower contraction speed
S3 - when, sound, why
when - early-mid diastolic
sound - groaning
why - ventricular wall noise from resistance to filling
S4 - when, why
when - late diastolic, end of ventricular filling
why - ventricular wall resistance to atrial kick
what are the best ways to hear S3 and S4?
apex with the bell in left lateral recumbent position
RA pressure
0 - 5 mm Hg
RV pressure
30 / 5
pulmonary mean pressure
20
the pulmonary wedge pressure is equal to the pressure in what chamber? what is the pcwp?
LA
15
LV pressure
120/10
what is the order of naming convention for heart murmurs?
grade - cycle - intensity - radiation
what are the left sided systolic murmurs?
aortic stenosis
mitral regurgitation
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
what are the right sided systolic murmurs?
pulmonic stenosis
tricuspid regurgitation
what are the causes of aortic stenosis?
age, calcification congenital disease (bicuspid valve) infective endocarditis
is aortic stenosis a left-sided or right-sided murmur? is it systolic or diastolic?
left sided
systolic
