Q

What is the typical progression of events for cardiac auscultation? 4

A
  1. Doctor will hear a murmur before sending patient for echo
  2. Once echo is performed, the doctor can correlate the present disease state with the echo findings
  3. If the quality of the murmur changes that could indicate the disease has progressed
  4. A new echo is then ordered

Q

When we breathe in (inspiration), the chest cavity expands causing pressure to do decrease, this causes what?

A
  1. More blood to enter the RA

Q

What are clicks?

A

Sounds usually produced during valve opening

25
Q

What pathology might clicks be caused by? 2

A
  1. Valvular stenosis
  2. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP)
26
Q

When is the sound heard for Mitral valve prolapse? What is it?

A
  1. Mid systolic click
  2. MV bows backward into LA during mid-systole
27
Q

What is a pericardial rub?

A

Beating of the heart against the inflamed pericardium without fluid between the layers

28
Q

What might the pericardial rub be caused by?

A

Tiny crystals in the pericardium

29
Q

What does the pericardial rub sound like?

A

Sandpaper

30
Q

What is a knock?

A

Beating of the heart against hardened pericardium with fluid between the layers

31
Q

During a knock what is the pericardium like?

A

Hard shell from pericarditis

32
Q

What is a muffled heart sound caused by?

A

The presence of pericardial effusion

33
Q

What conditions causes muffled heart sounds?

A

The presence of pericardial effusion

34
Q

What does pericardial effusions do to the sound?

A

Fluid dampens the sound

35
Q

Pericarditis may also result in a split what?

A

S1- S2

36
Q

What is a split S1-S2 also called?

A

Paradoxical splitting

37
Q

Pericarditis changes because of changes with what?

A

respiration/ provocative manoeuvres

38
Q

For muffled heart sounds the sound may increase with what maneuver?

A

Valsalva

39
Q

Where are murmurs produced by?

A

Turbulent flow in the heart through the valves/ shunts/ vessels

40
Q

A murmur is what kind of sound?

A

Abnormal

41
Q

What might murmurs be caused by? 5

A
  1. Turbulence
  2. High flow rate
  3. Forward flow - abnormal valves (maybe a stenosis)
  4. Backward flow
  5. Abnormal connections
42
Q

What are 6 factors of a murmur? (acronym)

A

SCRIPT

43
Q

What does SCRIPT stand for?

A
  1. Site
  2. Character
  3. Radiation
  4. Intensity
  5. Pitch
  6. timing
44
Q

What does the Site in SCRIPT produced by?

A

By the valves and are best heard over a particular region of the chest

45
Q

Where are the valve locations for auscultation sites?

A
46
Q

What is the character in SCRIPT mean? And examples? 5

A

The sound characteristics, like
1. Blowing
2. Crescendo/ Decresendo
3. Soft
4. Harsh
5. Rumbling

47
Q

The character in SCRIPT tend to match what?

A

Doppler flow profiles seen with abnormal valves

48
Q

What does the crescendo/Decrescendo help to relate?

A

Helpful to relate doppler qualities to the quality of the murmur

49
Q

What is the radiation in SCRIPT mean? 2

A
  1. Heart sounds will radiate in the direction of blood flows
  2. Certain murmurs may be said to radiate to other areas
50
Q

In terms of radiation aortic stenosis means what?

A

Radiation to the carotid arteries

51
Q

In terms of radiation mitral regurgitation radiates to where?

A

LT axillary

52
Q

What are the grades of intensity for Intensity?

A

Grade 1: heard to hear
Grade 2: quiet
Grade 3: Easy to hear
Grade 4: Easy to hear + Palpable thrill
Grade 5: Can hear with stethoscope barely touching
Grade 6: Can hear with stethoscope off chest

53
Q

What does the Pitch of Script mean?

A

The pitch of a murmur may be higher or lower depending on the pressure gradient

54
Q

A very high pressure difference will produce what kind of pitch?

A

High pitched murmur

55
Q

A more subtle difference in pressure will reduced what kind of pitch?

A

Low

56
Q

What does the timing of SCRIPT mean?

A

Does the murmur occur during Systole, Diastole, or throughout both?

57
Q

What does the timing of SCRIPT mean?

A

Does the murmur occur during Systole, Diastole, or throughout both

58
Q

What are some terms used for timing?

A
  1. Holo/pan = throughout
  2. Early/Mid/ Late
  3. Continuous
59
Q

What are stenotic murmurs?

A

Value is narrowed and blood is moving much faster
