Midterm Flashcards
S1
mitral and tricuspid valve closure
S2
aortic and pulmonic valve closure
S3
in early diastole
associated with mitral regurg., congestive heart failure, and dilated ventricles
normal in children and pregnant women
S4
in late diastole
associated with ventricular hypertrophy, scarring from MI, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade
Normal (physiologic) splitting
on inspiration
Wide splitting
Delays in RV emptying such as pulmonic stenosis, right bundle branch block
Fixed splitting
Seen in atrial septal defect
Paradoxical splitting
Delays in aortic valve closure such as aortic stenosis, left bundle branch block
Hand grip
increases intensity of MR, AR, VSD murmurs
later onset of click for MVP
Valsalva
increases intensity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy murmur
earlier onset of click for MVP
Rapid squatting
increases intensity of AS murmur
later onset of click for MVP
Systolic heart sounds
aortic/pulmonary stenosis, mitral/tricuspid regurg, VSD, MVP
Diastolic heart sounds
aortic/pulmonary regurg, mitral tricuspid stenosis
Aortic stenosis
Crescendo-decrescendo systolic ejection murmur, “barking”
Can lead to Syncope, Angina, Dyspnea (SAD)
Mitral regurgitation
Holosystolic (only chronic MR), high-pitched “blowing murmur” heard loudest at apex and radiates toward axilla
Non-holosystolic in acute MR
