Heart Valves and Heart Sounds; Valvular and Congenital Heart Defects Flashcards
(146 cards)
lub is
first heart sound
dub is
second heart sound
the sound itself we are hearing is not valve closing, it is
the tissue vibrations that result from the valve closing
first heart sound associated with what closing
AV valves closing
AV valves close start
systole
second heart sound associated with what closing
Semilunar valves
semilunar valves close start
diastole
sometimes pulmonary valve closes later than
tricuspid valve- this is normal
right bundle branch block, which ventricle contract first
left
right bundle branch block can cause splitting of
S2 sound
4th heart sound indicates
stiff ventricle
3rd heart sound is associated with
heart failure
draw out areas of auscultation

murmur in aotic area you would still hear
in other areas - it is just loudest over area you are listening to
most common causes of valvular defects is:
rheumatic valve injury
rhematic valve injury can be caused by
rheumatic fever, strep throat
rheumatic fever usually occurs about 2-4 weeks after
strep throat
rheumatic fever is autimmune disease in which
autoimmune against self, including heart valves, heart valves can be damaged
scarring of valves can be caused due to
rheumatic fever
which valves are particulary at danger to scarring from for example rheumatic fever
mitral valve & aortic valve
why are mitral valve & aortic valve morelikely to be damaged by rheumatic fever
they are under higher pressure
stenosis:
valve is narrowed b/c of the scarring
what can happen from scarring
narrowing of valve
valve doesn’t close all the way
when valve doesn’t close all the way what can happen
regurgitation
