Q

Which of these could be an opening snap that becomes louder with inspiration?

A Tricuspid stenosis
B Aortic stenosis
C Pulmonary stenosis
D Mitral Stenosis

A

Tricuspid Stenosis

“opening snap” sounds. If a heart sound gets louder on inhalation, this is a clue that the sound is coming from the right side of the heart.

Q

When you place your stethoscope on your patient you hear an early to mid systolic murmur in the pulmonic area with a fixed wide split S2 sound. What is the most likely diagnosis?

B Pulmonary valve regurgitation
C Ventricular septal defect
D Pulmonary stenosis

A

Atrial Septal Defect

The S2 is fixed-split in a person with an ASD. Mid systolic murmur in the pulmonic area with a fixed wide split S2 sound

Q

Which murmur is often described as a late systolic crescendo with a mid-systolic click?

A Aortic insufficiency
B Aortic regurgitation
C Aortic stenosis
D Mitral valve stenosis
E Mitral valve prolapse
A

Mitral valve prolapse

late systolic crescendo with a Mid-systolic click; created by the sudden tightening of the chordae tendineae in the left ventricle.

Q

This is a harsh holosystolic murmur that is found at the apex. The murmur has a medium to high pitch sound. The sound of the murmur does not get louder with inspiration. The sound can radiate to the left axilla and sometimes the left sternal boarder. What is the most likely murmur?

A Mitral valve regurgitation
B Tricuspid regurgitation
C Ventricular septal defect
D Aortic stenosis

A

Mitral Valve Regurgitation

high-pitched, “blowing” holosystolic murmur loudest at the apex and radiating to the axilla are great clues for Mitral valve regurgitation; does not increase with inspiration, which helps to distinguish it from the murmur of tricuspid regurgitation.

Q

Where would you hear a mitral regurgitation?

A

Left side of the chest over the apex of the <3 at the mid clavicular line

A systolic sound here would indicate mitral regurgitation. A diastolic sound here would indicate mitral stenosis.

Q

Which of the following options may be known as an “ejection click”?

A Aortic or Pulmonic Stenosis
B Mitral Valve Regurgitation
C Mitral Valve Stenosis
D Ventricular Septal Defects
E Pulmonary Hypertension
A

Aortic or Pulmonic Stenosis

**pulmonic stenosis does not radiate as widely as that of aortic stenosis; increased intensity during inspiration

17
Q

What is S1? Where should it be auscultated (apex or base)?

A
  • Closure of the AV (tricuspid/mitral) valves
  • Beginning of systole
  • Right before ejection of blood from ventricle
  • Auscultate at the APEX
18
Q

What is S2? Where should it be auscultated (apex or base)?

A
  • Closure of the pulmonary/aortic valves
  • End of systole
  • Auscultate at the BASE
19
Q

What is S3? When does it occur? What does it indicate?

Ventricular gallop

A
  • Follows S2
  • Sign of impaired early filling
  • –Volume overload
  • –Decompensated Heart Failure
  • Rarely heard in normal subjects
20
Q

What is S4? When does it occur? What does it indicate?

A

Atrial gallop

  • Precedes S1
  • Sign of impaired late filling
  • –Pressure overload
  • –LVH
  • –Aortic stenosis
  • Rarely heard in young subjects (but possible?)
21
Q

S3 follows __&results from ____________ (by a stiff non-compliant __

A

S3 followsS2& results fromresistance to EARLY LV FILLING(by a stiff non-compliantLV

22
Q

S4 precedes __ & results from ________ “ ____”

A

S4 precedesS1&results fromLATE FILLING “atrial kick”

23
Q

S3 is a sign of ___________ with ______ whereas S4 is a sign of _________ often detected in ___ or ________

A

S3 is a sign ofdecompensated heart failurewithVOLUME overloadwhereas S4 is a sign ofPRESSURE overloadoften detected inLVHoraortic stenosis.

24
Q

What is the driver for the physiologic splitting of S2?

A

Delay in P2 mostly due to longer RV emptying!

  • Pulmonic delay (and slightly earlier aortic closure sound— rarely perceptible)
25
Q

What characterizes an atrial septal defect?

A

Wide and fixed splitting of S2

26
Q
Wide and fixed splitting of the 2nd heart sound is characteristic of?
A. Ventricular septal defect
B. Atrial septal defect
C. Pulmonic stenosis
D. Bicuspid aortic valve
E. Mitral valve prolapse
A

Atrial Septal Defect

27
Q
Physiologic splitting of the 2nd heart sound is due to?
A. Inspiratory delay in LV emptying
B. Expiratory delay in LV emptying
C. Inspiratory delay in RV emptying
D. Expiratory delay in RV emtpying
A

Inspiratory delay in RV emptying
