17
Q

Patent Ductus Arteriosus

A

Machinery like murmur throughout systole and diastole (GIBSON MURMUR), best heart in intraclavicular area. Can be due to a maternal rubella infection. Can lead to heart failure.
Ix: Echo

18
Q

CAUSE?: Pulsus Alternans

A

Left ventricular systolic failure. Also, low ejection fraction, SV and end diastolic volume.

19
Q

CAUSE? Pulsus paradoxes

A

Constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade

20
Q

Graham Steell murmur?

A

Pulmonary regurg (high pitched early diastolic, best heard on left sternal edge)

21
Q

Carey-Coombs murmur

A

Mid diastolic murmur that can be caused by turbulent flow over a thickened mitral valve. Associated with acute RhF.

22
Q

Cause of S3?

A

Rapid ventricular filling. After S2. due to HF. “kentucky”

23
Q

Cause of S4?

A

Ventricular hypertrophy. Just before S1. Stiffened left ventricles, resulting from conditions such as hypertension, aortic stenosis, ischemic or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
In patient with mitral regurgitation, suggestive of acute onset of regurgitation due to the rupture of the chorda tendinae that anchor the Valvular leaflets. “tennessee”

24
Q

Cause of a fixed wide splitting of S2

A

(it’s normally not heard as normally the aortic and pulmonary shut at nearly the same time)
It is due to an atrial septal defect

25
Q

A

(cannon wave) Due to complete heart block

26
Q

JVP C wave?

A

Ventricular contraction

27
Q

Q

A

A

SVCO,

31
Q

A

AF

32
Q

A
