Murmurs Flashcards
1
Q
What ejection systolic murmur radiates to the carotids?
A
Aortic stenosis
2
Q
What would you expect to find on ECG if a patient has aortic stenosis? (3 things)
A
- Increased QRS complexes
- Left axis deviation
- Poor R wave progression
3
Q
What are the characteristics of Aortic regurgitation? (5 things)
A
- Wide pulse pressure
- Collapsing pulse
- Early diastolic murmur
- Quincke’s sign (nail pulsations)
- De Musset’s sign (head bobbing)
4
Q
What are the characteristics of Aortic stenosis? (6 Things)
A
- Radiating to the carotids
- Narrow pulse pressure
- Slow rising pulse
- Soft /absent S2
- S4
- Loud murmur with a thrill
5
Q
What are the characteristics of mitral regurgitation? (4 things)
A
- Pansystolic murmur (blowing sound)
- Murmur heard best at the apex + radiating to the axilla
- Quiet S1
- If severe- may cause a widely split S2
6
Q
In what murmur is a Low volume pulse most characteristically seen in?
A
Mitral stenosis
7
Q
What is the most common mechanism resulting in heart failure in patients with myocarditis?
A
Systolic dysfunction
8
Q
What murmur is likely to cause a soft S2?
A
Aortic stenosis
9
Q
What causes a early diastolic murmur?
A
Pulmonary regurgitation
10
Q
What serious condition can cause aortic regurgitation?
A
Aortic dissection
