Lilly's Chapter 2 PP Flashcards
**S1 represents
AV Valve closure
***Three factors affect Intensity: –
_ Distance separating leaflets when open
– Mobility of leaflets (Normal vs. Rigid with stenosis)
– Ventricular pressure
**Causes of LOUD S1 (TMiS)
Short PR
Mild Mitral Stenosis
Tachycardia
*****2 reasons why Short PR causes loud S1
Leaflets have no time to drift back
Ventricular contraction forces them to shut from far apart
**2 reasons why Mild Mitral stenosis causes loud S1
Keeps leaflets open longer than normal
Vent. Contract. forces them shut from far apart
*****2 reasons why Tachycardia causes loud S1
- Short diastole = Leaflets don’t have time to drift back
together
– Vent. Contract. forces them shut from far apart
**3 Causes of Diminished S1 (LMrSS)
Long PR: 1st degree AV block
Mitral Regurgitation
Severe Mitral Stenosis
Stiff Left Ventricle (HTN)
***How does LONG PR causes diminished S1
Valves have additional time to float back together= small distance to close
**How does Mitral Regurgitation causes diminished S1
Leaflets don’t have full contact with one another
**How does Severe Mitral Stenosis cause diminished S1–
Stiff leaflets can never move to full open position
**How does Hypertension cause diminished S1–
– Results in higher end diastolic pressure causing leaflets to drift together more rapidly and close from small distance
***Loud S2 indicates
HTN
**Diminished S2 indicates (3)
Aortic Stenosis
Pulmonary Stenosis
**S3
Normal in ____
heard in early diastole, from tensing of chordae
tendineae during rapid ventricular filling – Wall stretches out quickly snapping chordae
Children
**S3 is ______In adults and indicate (2)
ABNORMAL
Heart failure
Volume overload
