S1 (lub)
1st heart sound, represents closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves, signals beginning of systole
S2 (dub)
2nd heart sound, closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves, radial pulse, signals beginning of diastole
S3
ventricular failure, low frequency reverberating sound, hallmark of CHF, could also be present in endurance athletes, PG women, infections, fever, anemia, and childern
S4
associated with MI/HTN, late ventricular filling, left ventricular hypertrophy
murmurs
vibrations resulting from turbulent blood flow
pericardial rub
inflammation causing the inner and outer pericardial wall layer to rub together
