Question: What is the “S1” heart sound?
Answer: “first heart sound” or “lub,” marks the beginning of systole and is associated with the closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves.
Which valves are responsible for the “S1” heart sound?
Closure of the AV valves, specifically the Mitral valve and the Tricuspid valve.
The 2nd heart sound
Which valves closure is responsible
Sound made
Pulmonic and aortic
Dubb
1st heart sound
What makes the noise
Where can we ausculate
Bicuspid (Mitral) & Tricuspid
Tricuspid = 4th intercostal space,Left side, sternal border
Mitral (bicuspid) = 5th intercostal space, left side, midcavicular
3rd heart sound
Describe sound
Cause
Who it maybe normal for
Lub du bub
Rapid filling of the ventricles
<40
4th heart sound
Describe
Cause / disease associated
Be lub duplicate
Stuff ventricle due to Hypertension
Ventricle cannot fill properly and thus has a reduced volume of blood to expel

An Unna boot is a compression dressing made by wrapping layers of gauze around your leg and foot.
The Unna boot is used for (Venus Status Ulcers or peripheral Artery Disease)
The compression of the dressing helps improve blood flow in your lower leg.
