*Valvular Heart Disease Flashcards
1
Q
Best positions to hear cardiac valves
A
Left:
5th ICS - MV, apex of heart (L5)
4th ICS - TV
2nd ICS - PV
Right:
2nd ICS - AV
2
Q
Diastolic murmur
A
ARMS
MS = MDS - L5 ICS
AR = EDM - L4
(AS at R2)
3
Q
Systolic murmur
A
MR = PSM - L5, radiates to axilla (pan SM)
AS = ESM - R2, radiates to neck (ejection SM)
MVP (prolapse) = Mid systolic click
TR = PSM (pan SM)
4
Q
Atrial septal defect murmur
A
Ejection systolic murmur
at L2
