Peds Cardiac Flashcards
- Closure of AV valves
- Mitral > Tricuspid
- Apex or LLSB
S1 sound: systole
- closure of semilunar valves
- aortic > pulmonic
- Base or LUSB
- most important component
S2 Sound: end systole
What causes physiologic splitting of S2?
Respiratory inspiration
- increase blood to R heart
- increase blood into RV
- delays emptying of RV
- prolongs closure of S2
Widely split S2
electrical delay (RBBB)- VSD repair (TOF)
= inspiratory and expiratory split
Fixed split S2
volume overload (ASD) = inspiratory and expiratory split
Narrowed split S2
Pulmonary HTN (loud S2)
Paradoxical split S2
electrical delay (LBBB) =expiration only split
Single S2
complex heart defect (TGA) or Single ventricle defect (only 1 semilunar valve)
- Low frequency sound in early diastole
- Apex
- from rapid ventricular filling/volume overload
- common variant in children
S3
- Low frequency sound in late diastole
- Apex
- Obstruction > decreased ventricular compliance
S4
Pulmonary stenosis:
what sound is heard?
Where?
change with respiration?
- ejection click
- LUSB
- intensity change with expiration
Aortic stenosis:
what sound is heard?
Where?
change with respiration?
- Ejection click
- Apex (early systole)
- no change w/ respiration
2 causes of friction rubs?
- pericarditis
- post pericardiotomy syndrome
How are pulses in Patent ductus arteriosus?
Increased in UE and LE
How are pulses in Aortic stenosis, HLHS?
Decreased weak, thready
How are pulses in pt w/ coarctation
UE > LE (LE= poor, absent, delay)
Is the BP in the legs normally lower or higher than it is in the arms?
Legs > arms
If you get a referral for HTN in a child, what do you need to first check?
where the BP was taken from if taken from the LE, it is higher
3 types of innocent heart murmurs
- Stills murmur (systolic)
- Venous Hum Murmur (continuous)
- Peripheral pulmonary stenosis (systolic)
If a murmur radiates into the neck, what is causing the murmur?
aortic stenosis
If a murmur radiates into the back, what is causing the murmur?
pulmonary valve stenosis
If a murmur radiates into the axilla, what kind of murmur is it?
peripheral pulmonary murmur
When grading murmurs, what is the difference between 3/6 compared to 4/6?
3/6= loud w/o thrill
4/6= loud, w/ palpable thrill
Are diastolic or continuous heart murmurs considered innocent or pathologic?
pathologic
In supine position:
innocent heart murmur will?
HCM murmur?
innocent= increase
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy murmur= decrease
