16
Q

when is the splitting of S1 best heard

A
  • usually not heard because tricuspid is too faint to hear

- heard during inspiration at tricuspid region

17
Q

splitting of which heart sound is expected

A

S2

18
Q

for S2 wwhere are pressures higher and where are ejectiont times longer

A

pressure higher on left side

- ejection time longer on right

19
Q

when is splitting of S2 heard the greatest

A

during peak inspiration

20
Q

What is S3

A

rapid passive filling of ventricles during diastole

-early diastole

21
Q

what is S4 sound

A

forceful atrial ejection of blood

-late diastole

22
Q

what are 4 questions you should as yourself with hearing a murmur

A
timing
location
radiation
shape 
intensity 
pitch 
quality
23
Q

bruit

A

murmur heard in blood vessel

24
Q

how does clench fist and hand grip change heart sound

A
  • increase ventricular volume

- increases afterload

25
Q

how does sitting to standing or valvsalva change heart sound

A

decreases preload

26
Q

raising leg or squatting changes heart sounds how?

A
  • increase venous return
  • increase preload
  • increase PVR
27
Q

how does breathing change heart sounds

A

increases right ventricular preload

28
Q

what is the grading of murmors

A
I: faint, can't be heard
II: heard immediately
III: moderately loud
IV: loud and THRILL
V: heard with stethoscope
VI: can be heart without stethoscope
29
Q

when palpating a pulse, what does amplitud mean

A

force

30
Q

type of pulse:anxiety, exercise, fever, anemia, PDA, atheroclerosis

A

Bounding pulse

31
Q

type of pulse: COPD, pericarditis, pericardial effusion

A

pulses paradoxus

32
Q

type of pulse: left ventricular failure

A

pulsus alternans

33
Q

type of pulse: impaired circulation

A

pulsus differens

34
Q

what do you hear in systolic aortic stensosi

A

crescendo-decrescendo

35
Q

what do you hear in diastolic aortic regurgitation

A

decrescendo, blowing

36
Q

what do you hear in diastolic mitral stenosis

A

rumbling, uniform openin snap

37
Q

sound of mitral regurgitation

A

holosystolic/uniform murmur

38
Q

sound of mitral valve prolapse

A

midsystolic click followed by late systolic murmur

39
Q

sound of tricupsid regurgitiation

A

holosystolic/uniform murmur
