Pitcher Flashcards
thrill
vibration - valve problem
LLSB
tricuspid
apex
mitral
2nd ICS right and left
aortic and pulmonic
left lateral decubitus
accentuates mitral murmurs
murmur
turbulence across valve
bruit
turbulence outside heart - periphery
grade 4/6
thrill palpable
grade 6/6
stethoscope OFF chest
grade 5/6
stethoscope partially off chest
aortic stenosis
radiate to carotid arteries
-bruit
carotid stenosis vs. aortic stenosis - listen to heart - if abnormal - aortic stenosis
atherosclerosis
bruit - if 70%
stills murmur
innocent
- mid systolic, louder supine
- in kids
S1
mitral and tricuspid
timed with carotid pulse
S2
aortic and pulmonic
split S1
normal variant or abnormal from RBBB or PVC
if both split
split S2
with inspiration - normal
wide or fixed - delayed pulmonic closure from stenosis, RBBB
S3
early diastolic
-kentucky
transition of rapid to slow ventricular filling
LV myocardial damage causing systolic dysfunction from dilated cardiomyopathy**
sudden limitation of normal ventricular relaxation during filling stage in diastole
S3
with MI
-to CHF
S4
vibration of LV from atrial kick
- hits less compliant ventricular wall
- thicker heart**
- poorly treated HTN
aortic/pulmonic stenosis, HTN, MI wall damage, thick ventricle wall from higher work load, and some stiffening
decreased ventricular distensibility
transmits to carotids
aortic stenosis
-dyspnea on exertion, angina, syncope
aortic stenosis
systolic crescendo/decrescendo pattern
often associated S4
gallop rhythm
all 4 sounds
ejection click
sound occurring moment of max pressure with sudden tensing of a valve root
