Q

4 Things that differ intracardiac murmur from extra

A

Endo/intracardial Murmurs

  • Caused by turbulence
  • Within the heart
  • Morphological or functional origin
  • Most common

Extracardial Murmurs:

  • Outside the heart
  • Variable
  • Can be caused by pleuritis
  • Location, Intensity can be heard during different phases of the cardiac cycle
  • Can be caused by effusions
39
Q

Causes of Endo/Intracardial murmurs

A

MORPHOLOGICAL

  • Valve deformities
  • Septal or vessel malformations

FUCTIONAL

  • Innocent murmurs
  • Anemia: Decreased blood viscousity
40
Q

Cause of extra cardial murmurs

A

DUE TO INFLAMATION

41
Q

Adventious sounds from upper respiratory tract

A
  1. Moist (wet) Rhonchi = Non musical Rhonchi
  2. Crepitation
  3. Crackling sound
  4. Rattling sound
  5. Dry Rhonchi = Musical Rhonchi
  6. Whistling
  7. Wheezing
42
Q

43
Q

Classification of endo/intracardial murmurs

A

Localization

Intensity

+ 4 constant characteristics

  1. Timing (systole/diastole)
  2. Pitch (low,med.high) - blowing, whistling, crackling, rough, musical murmurs
  3. Quality, Shape - Continious, Crescendo, Decrescendo, crescendo-decrescendo (DIAMOND)
  4. Conduction: yes/no (Systole+pulse+murmur=Systolic murmur)
