Q

what does the S8 heart sound mean for young patients? old patients? when would we hear it?

A

it can be normal in young children and some young adults. in older adults can mean changes in ventricular compliance
we can hear it after S2

Q

describe what S4 is and when we hear it

A

vibration on the ventricular wall due to atrial contraction, proceeds S1 of the next beat. it means a change in ventricular compliance

Q

how do we perform a heart exam?

A

inspection: check for cyanosis (is pt oxygenating well? do they have SOB?) and obtain PMI
perform palpations and obtain PMI
perform auscultation (on skin): place at right 2 ICS, then left 2 ICS, then left 4 ICS, then left 5 ICS

A

whooshing sound from blood passing through heart

43
Q

what are echocardiograms used for?
