Question 2

Ejection Click

Answer 2

Sound that results from an open valve that moves during the beginning old systole;may be heard over the aortic or pulmonic area

Question 3

Fixed split

Answer 3

During auscultation, the two components of the heart sound are heard during both inspiration and expiration. The split is wide and results from right bundle branch block or early open ending of the aortic valve

Question 4

Flack neck veins

Answer 4

Barely visible neck veins, even when lying flat

Question 5

Gallops

Answer 5

Extra heart sounds when an S3 or S4 is heard

Question 6

Murmur

Question 8

Opening snap

Answer 8

Indicates the mitral valve is mobile and “snaps” during early diastole from high atrial pressure such as with mitral stenosis

Question 9

Orthopnea

Answer 9

Onset or worsening of Dyspena on assuming the supine position with improvement upon sitting up, most often seen in cardiac condition
