56
S2 splitting
Occurs upon inspiration and delays closure of pulmonic valve creating a2 and p2
57
S3 heart sound
Early diastolic sound heard after S2 sounding like an extra little slap "kentucky"
58
S3 associated pathology
While normal in some young, typically ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, a large ventricle undergoing rapid ventricular filling
59
S4 heart sound

60
S4 associated pathology
Due to atrium pushing blood into stiff ventricle creating atrial gallop, often due to diastolic dysfunction or LV hypertrophy
