Q

What is the difference between physiologic and organic heart murmur?

A

heart murmur usually due to disruption of normal laminar flow of blood. ORGANIC cause but some cardiac disease defect such as deformed, stenotic valve, PDA. PHYSIOLOGIC due to alteration of metabolic state: pregnancy, early childhood.

Q

How can you accentuate abnormalities of heart sounds? ie. regurgitation or mitral murmurs

A

regurgitation: sit up, lean forward, exhale completely and hold breath in expiration.
murmur: ask pt to roll onto his left side and then listen for apical area.

Q

what does HYPOkalemia and HYPERkalmeia look like on ECG?

A

hypokalmeia you see ST depression and flat T waves. Hyperkalemia causes tall, narrow, peaked T waves, QRS widening, and Pwave flattening and can progress to ventricular fibrillation.
