The method of listening to and studying heart sounds during heart activity
Auscultation
A medical instrument with earpieces connected to tubes attached to a small, disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the chest
- The easiest method to listen to heart sounds
Stethoscope
One of the most common conditions diagnosed by auscultation
- One of the heart valves does not function properly
Heart Murmurs
Abnormal heart sounds from heart murmurs typically involve what (2) sounds
Whooshing
Blowing
How many heart sounds are created in a single cardiac cycle? How do the first 2 and last 2 differ?
- 4 sounds
- The first two can easily be heard by a stethoscope
- The last 2 may or may not be heard
Typically called the “lub” sound of the heart
- Heard during systole
- Caused by the closing of the atrioventricular valves and tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid) valves
1st Heart sound (S1)
Typically called the “dub” sound of the heart
- Heard during systole
- Caused by closure of the semilunar valves
2nd Heart sound (S2)
What are the semilunar valves?
Aortic semilunar valve
Pulmonary semilunar valve
- Occurs during diastole
- Lower pitched sound produced by the ventricles vibrating as they fill with flood
3rd Heart Sound (S3)
- Occurs during diastole
- Low-intensity sound heard as the atria contract to push blood down into the ventricles
4th Hear Sound (S4)
Areas that represent where sounds from each valve can be heard most clearly
- How many areas?
- Auscultatory areas
- 4 areas
What are the 4 auscultatory areas and what valves are they associated with?
- Aortic area: Aortic semilunar valve
- Tricuspid area: Right atrioventricular valve
- Pulmonary area: Pulmonary semilunar valve
- Mitral area: Left atrioventricular valve
Pressure that is created by the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as your heart pumps blood into the blood vessels
Blood pressure
Where is pressure the highest/lowest when the heart contracts?
Arteries
Pressure in the arteries when the ventricles are contracting
- Highest pressure
Systolic pressure
What is the normal measurement for systolic pressure?
90-120 mm Hg
An important indicator of the force of contraction of the heart
Systolic pressure
Diastolic pressure
Pressure in the arteries when the ventricles are relaxed
What is the normal measurement for diastolic pressure?
60-80 mm Hg
An important indicator of systemic blood vessels
Diastolic pressure
The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures indicating the force of blood pushing through the vessels
Pulse pressure
The average measurement for pulse pressure
40 mm Hg
The average blood pressure during a cardiac cycle
Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
The flow of blood through a specific tissue or organ
Perfusion
