Grading Heart Murmurs
1: very faint
2: quiet, soft, easily heard with stetoscope
3: moderately loud
4: loud with palpable thrill
5: very loud with thrill; can hear with stethoscope partly off chest
6: heard without stethoscope
Systolic murmurs
Between S1 and S2
Diastolic murmurs
Between S2 and S1
S1
Closure of TV and MV
S2
Closure of AV and PV
may split with inspiration
S3
Dull, low pitch best heard with bell Kentucky Physiologic in kids, young adults Pathogenic in older adults = HF Ventricular gallop
S4
dull low pitch; best heard with bell
Tennessee
forceful atrial contraction against stiffened low compliant ventricle
Atrial gallop
Systolic Murmurs
MR (MVP), TR
AS, PS
VSD
Aortopulmonary shunts (early, mid, late, holosystolic, pansystolic)
Diastolic Murmurs
AR, PR
MS, TS
Atrial myxoma
Continuous murmurs
PDA- machinery
AV fistula
ASD with high LA pressure
Coarctation
Valvular Heart Dz (VHD)
Most common conditions encountered today:
-degenerative (senile calcification)
-myxomatous degen (MVP)
-Congenital (bicuspid aortic valve)
Decline in incidence of Rheumatic valvular dz (RVD)
