Heart Sounds II & III Lecture Powerpoint Flashcards
fuck
When you hear a murmur, need to order what diagnostic study…
…an echocardiogram
Gradation of heart murmurs and what grade is consistent with pathological heart disease
1 - very faint, may not be heard in all positions
2 - quiet but heard immediately
3 - moderately loud
(anything below here is pathologic for heart dz)
4 - loud with palpable thrill
5 (systolic only) - loud with thrill may be heard when stethoscope is partially off chest
6 (systolic only) - very loud with thrill may be heard with stethoscope completely off chest
Cooing dove murmur is always associated with…
Still’s murmur
Innocent murmurs characteristics (5)
- grad I-III only
- no clicks
- brief duration, never solely diastolic
- echo will be normal
- no associated pathological findings
Still’s murmur
Most common innocent murmur of childhood (2-6 y.o.), grades I-II, due to vibrations of leaflet attachments in kids, midsystolic heard best at left lower sternal border, vibratory like dove cooing, typically worsened with exercise or excitement
Innocent pulmonary systolic murmur
In 8-14 y.o, grades I-III, peaks during mid systole and heard best at left upper sternal border, has no associated symptoms, typically worsened with exercise or excitement
Physiologic peripheral pulmonic stenosis (PPS) murmur
Due to small relative size of pulmonary artery with acute angle often in newborns or premature, lasts 3-6 months otherwise must re-evaluate, graded I-II heard best at left upper sternal border
Venous hum
Most common continuous innocent murmur, due to turbulence of jugular and subclavian venous return where they meet in the superior vena cava, heard best in the infraclavicular region, disappears when supine, with gentle compression of jugular venous return, or turning head to contralateral side (physiologic compression of return)
Aortic stenosis murmur
-heard over aortic area midsystolically often diminishing S2, increases when squatting, associated with ejection click, pulsus parvus et tardus
Pulmonic stenosis murmur
-Infrequent often part of congenital disorder, heard over pulmonic area systolic murmur often causing wide splitting of S2 (during inspiration), radiates to carotids or back, causes JVD and possible cyanosis
Pulmonic stenosis symptoms (4)
Exertional angina, SOB, fatigue, dizziness
Pulmonic stenosis treatment and one complication
Percutaneous balloon angioplasty, can result in regurgitation
VSD 2 sequallae
- RV hypertrophy
- pulmonary hypertension
Infants with VSD
Have failure to thrive because they are fatigued and have to choose between breathing and eating and thus must be prescribed high caloric density formula
VSD murmur
Holosystolic heard best at tricuspid area, causes wide split of S2
VSD treatment options (5)
- If defect is small no treatment needed
- Endocarditis prophylaxis
- Increased caloric need
- Diuretics
- Usually close on own but might need surgical intervention if large
Atrial septal defect (ASD) definition
Congenital disorder caused by spontaneous malformation of the interartrial septum (closure of foramen ovale) from communication between atria resulting in left to right shunt with turbulent blood flow between atria leading to murmur, can be asymptomatic but progresses with age increasing risk of clot formation
Atrial septal defect murmur
Avoid valsalva, auscultated over pulmonic area, fixed split S2 in inspiration and expiration,
Atrial septal defect treatment (1)
Surgical intervention
Mitral regurgitation Causes (7)
- weakness in mitral valve leaflets
- damaged chordae tendinae
- Papillary muscle ischemia
- annular dilation
- infectious endocarditis
- LVH
- rheumatic heart disease
Mitral regurgitation murmur
holosystolic heard at axilla increased with squatting
Most common cause of mitral regurgitation
Mitral valve prolapse
