Murmurs Flashcards
What are the most common valve problems?
Aortic stenosis= most
Mitral regurg
What should always be done if a murmur is heard?
Listen to carotids= aortic murmur will radiate, mitral will not
What are the types of systolic murmur?
PAnsystolic
Ejection systolic
Late systolic
What is the most common type of murmur?
Ejection systolic
What is a pan systolic murmur?
Constant noise caused by improper direction of flow
What causes a pan systolic murmur?
Mitral regurgitation
VSD
What is the presentation of pan systolic murmurs?
VSD= harsh murmur
Mitral regurg= high pitched, blowing
What is an ejection systolic murmur?
Cresendo decrescendo murmur caused by outflow tract obstruction
What causes ejection systolic murmur?
Aortic stenosis
What causes a late systolic murmur?
Mitral valve prolapse
What causes an early diastolic murmur?
Aortic regurg
