Q

Which heart sound is heard in a gallop rhythm?

A

S3 or S4, but can’t tell which

18
Q

What can affect the first heart sound?

A

Contractility, e.g. louder during exercise

19
Q

In what condition can the 2nd heart sound be split?

A

Pulmonary hypertension

20
Q

What is the 3rd heart sound from?

A

Rapid ventricular filling (mitral valve open)

21
Q

What conditions can cause an audible 3rd heart sound?

A

Vibrations in a stiff ventricular wall, e.g. DCM in dogs

22
Q

What is the 4th heart sound from?

A

Atrial systole (blood into overdistended ventricle)

23
Q

What conditions can cause an audible 4th heart sound?

A

Feline HCM

24
Q

What are the two causes of heart murmurs?

A

Turbulence or vibration of a structure

25
Q

When do systolic murmurs occur?

A

Over heart sounds

26
Q

When do diastolic murmurs occur?

A

After heart sounds

27
Q

When do continuous murmurs occur?

A

Constantly, but get louder and quieter over systole and diastole

28
Q

What are four causes of innocent/flow murmurs?

A

Immature animal, anaemia, hypoviscosity, increased velocity

29
Q

What does a grade I murmur sound like?

A

Heard in a quiet room, only one side

30
Q

What does a grade II murmur sound like?

A

faint but easily heard

31
Q

What does a grade III murmur sound like?

A

Same intensity as heart sounds

32
Q

What does a grade IV murmur sound like?

A

Louder than heart sounds

33
Q

What does a grade V murmur sound like?

A

Like IV, but palpable thrill

34
Q

What does a grade VI murmur sound like?

A

Heard when stethoscope is removed from chest wall

35
Q

Which two conditions can cause a systolic plateau murmur?

A

AV valve regurgitation, L-R shunting VSD

36
Q

What does a systolic ejection murmur sound like?

A

Squeak

37
Q

What three conditions can cause a systolic ejection murmur?

A

Aortic stenosis, increased blood flow, pulmonic stenosis

38
Q

Which three conditions can cause a diastolic murmur?

A

Aortic regurgitation, pulmonic regurgitation, AV valve stenosis

39
Q

What does a PDA murmur sound like?

A

Characteristic continuous machinery murmur

40
Q

Which conditions can cause a continuous murmur?

A

PDA, or any combination of systolic and diastolic murmur
