Q

What is an S2 split? Where is it heard the best?

A

– S2 is physiologically split because AV closure (A2) normally precedes PV closure (P2) and it’s usually louder.

Heard best at 2nd and 3rd ICS

Q

S3 is normal in what pt populations?

A

Q

What is the slang term for S4? When does it occur?

22
Q

Why does S4 sound happen? Where and with what side of the stethoscope is it heard the best?

A

Produced by the sound of blood being forced into a noncompliant (stiff/ hypertrophic) ventricle - atria has to contract harder

Best heard with bell at apex in LLD

23
Q

What pt population is S4 commonly seen in?

A

NEVER A NORMAL FINDING!!!

Usually associated with a stiffened ventricle (heard in patients with ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial ischemia, older adults) aka long-standing HTN

24
Q

S3 is heard in ____ diastole and S4 is heard in ____ diastole

A

S3: EARLY diastole

S4: LATE diastole

25
Q

What is an ejection click a result of? Immediately follows _____

A

Result of opening of AV (dilated aorta, aortic stenosis, or bicuspid AV) or PV (dilated pulmonary artery, pulm HTN, or pulmonic stenosis)

S1

26
Q

What is an opening snap caused by? What does it follow?

A

Caused by opening of MV, as in MS

Follows S2

27
Q

What phase are S3 and S4 heard in?

A

diastole

28
Q

How are murmurs differentiated from extra heart sounds?

A

murmurs are longer than extra heart sounds

29
Q

_____ have an abnormally narrowed valvular orifice that obstructs blood flow. AKA do not ____ well

A

Stenotic valves

do not OPEN well

30
Q

______ fail to fully close. A valve that allows blood to leak backwards in a retrograde direction produces a regurgitant murmur. Aka do not ____ well

A

Insufficient or regurgitant valves

do not CLOSE well

31
Q

What do you evaluate cardiac murmurs for?

A

S: site: what listening post?
C: character
R: radiation
I: intensity
P: pitch: high or low
T: timing: when is it happening?

32
Q

**What is the grading scale for cardiac murmurs?

A
33
Q

What are the options for cardiac murmurs?

A

systolic, diastolic or continuous

34
Q

What does crescendo sound like? decresendo?

A

crescendo: getting louder

decrescendo: getting softer

35
Q

Carotid pulse is _______

A

systolic

36
Q

What is the cause behind a pansystolic murmur? Is it a problem? What is a major example?

A

Arising from blood flow from a chamber of high pressure to one of low pressure through a valve that should be closed

YES, this is pathologic

mitral regurgitation

37
Q

_____ is the MC heart murmur? ** What is the clinical pearl associated with it? What is it a result of?

A

midsystolic murmur

blowing

turbulent blood flow

38
Q

What does pathologic midsystolic murmur indicate?

A

aortic stenosis

39
Q

diastolic murmurs may be _____ or ____

A

early or mid-late

40
Q

early diastolic murmurs are due to regurgitation through ______ most often aortic regurg

A

incompetent semilunar valves,

41
Q

In diastolic murmurs mid-late diastolic murmurs suggest ______, most commonly mitral stenosis

A

stenosis of an A-V valve

42
Q

**if you hear a diastolic murmur in the middle of a cycle, the most likely cause is _____

A

stenosis

43
Q

**Venous hum are considered _____ murmurs. What are they produced by? What are they characterized by?

A

combined

Produced by turbulence of blood flow in jugular veins

Characterized by a continuous murmur that is louder in diastole and has a soft, low pitch

44
Q

Pericardial Friction Rub are classified as ______ murmurs. What are they a result of? What makes these increase?

A

combined murmurs that last the entirety of the cycle

A result of inflammation of the pericardium

Increases as the patient leans forward, exhales, and holds their breath

45
Q

What is a Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)? What type of murmur?

A

Congenital abnormality resulting in a channel between the aorta and pulmonary artery

combined murmur

46
Q

**a heart sound is described as harsh, machinery-like, medium pitched that is typically associated with a thrill. What am I?

A

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

47
Q

Where is a PDA the loudest? Where is it heard the best?

A

Loudest in systole and fades in diastole

Best heard at left 2nd intercostal space, radiating to left clavicle

48
Q

What are the 2 different kinds of echocardiograms?

A

Transthoracic (TTE) 2D echocardiogram

and

Transesophageal Echo (TEE)

49
Q

_____ is the most common study ordered for valvular abnormalities

A

Transthoracic (TTE) 2D echocardiogram w/Doppler imaging

50
Q

What attributes of the heart does TTE give a good view of?

A

Provides excellent images of valve motion, intracardiac masses, cardiac abnormalities / anomalies, and pericardial fluid

Gives info about the size of all 4 chambers, regional and global systolic function, and chamber wall thickness

51
Q

What is the advantage of the TEE?

A

Gives better view of posterior heart structures, specifically the atria, atrial appendage, and A-V valves

52
Q

TEE are better than a TTE for dx ______ and to confirm ______. TEE helps define _____ or ______

A

left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus

severe valvular disease

septal defects

patent foramen ovale (PFO)

53
Q

What is the important pt education prior to TEE procedure?

A

Patient has to be NPO for 6-8 hours prior to procedure

54
Q

What are the risk of TEE? It is performed under ________

A

Aspiration
Throat irritation
Esophageal perforation

IV sedation and local anesthetic to reduce gag reflex

55
Q
A
