Heart Sounds and Their Description Flashcards
Thrill on R Base
Aortic Stenosis/ Systemic HTN
Thrill on L Base
Pulmonic Stenosis/ Pulmonic HTN
Lift (Heave)
Left Lower Sternal Border: RVH/ Chronic Lung Disease
PMI: Volume Overload
LVH- Displaced lateral and wide spread
PMI: Pressure Overload
Increase in force and duration but not displaced
Aortic Region
Between 2nd and 3rd intercostal spaces at the R sternal border
Pulmonic Region
Between 2nd and 3rd intercostal spaces at the L sternal border
Tricuspid Region
Between the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th intercostal spaces at the left sternal border
Mitral Region
Near the apex of the heard between the 5th and 6th L intercostal spaces (apex of the heart)
Diaphragm
High frequency sounds (systolic murmurs, S1, S2, Ejection clicks, and opening snaps)
Bell
Low frequency sounds (diastolic murmurs, S3, S4)
S1
Closure of Mitral and Tricuspid valces
S2
Closure of aortic and pulmonary valves (pulmonary valve closes 60 msec after aortic valve)
Semilunar Valves
- Aortic and pulmonary valves close after isometric relaxation period
- Pulmonary component is softer than aortic component
S3
Rapid filling of ventricles from atrium during diastole
