What causes heart sounds? | *Caused by the closing of valves and the collision of blood against them when they do |
What causes AV valves to open? | *When atrial pressure exceeds ventricular pressure *Opening and closing of valves is passive |
What causes AV valves to close? | *When ventricular pressure exceeds atrial pressure *Opening and closing of valves is passive |
What causes semilunar valves to open? | *When ventricular pressure exceeds pulmonary trunk and aortic pressure |
What causes semilunar valves to close? | *When pulmonary trunk and aortic pressure exceed ventricular pressure |
What is the notation for the first heart sound? | S₁ |
What is the notation for the second heart sound? | S₂ |
What causes the first heart sound? | *"lub" *Closing of the AV valves (tricuspid and bicuspid) ***LONGEST and LOUDEST SOUND |
WHat causes the second heart sound? | *"dub" *Closing of the pulmonary and aortic valves |
Where can the sound of the tricuspid valve be most clearly heard? | ![]() *Fifth intercostal space *On right side very near midline |
Where can the sound of the bicuspid valve be most clearly heard? | ![]() *Fifth intercostal space *Left side close to the nipple line |
Where can the sound of the pulmonary valve be most clearly heard? | ![]() *Second intercostal space *Left side slightly away from midline |
Where can the sound of the aortic valve be most clearly heard? | ![]() *Second intercostal space *Right side slightly away from midline |
What type of blood flow is involved in a heart murmur? | Turbulent blood flow |
What is stenosis? | *Narrowing a valve *Creates resistance to blood flow *Heard when blood flows through a valve *A "swoosh" sound is heard just prior to the heart sounds |
What sound is heard with an AV stenosis? | AV Stenosis prior to S₁sounds like "swoosh-lub" |
What sound is heard with a Semilunar stenosis? | Semilunar stenosis prior to S₂sounds like "swoosh-dub" |
What is valve insufficiency? | *aka Valve Regurgitation *Improper closing of valves *Causes a backflow of blood through valves *Heard when valves are closed *A "swoosh" sound is heard during and after heart sounds |
What is heard during AV insufficiency? | AV insufficiency during S₁sounds like "swoosh-lub" |
What is heard during Semilunar insufficiency? | Semilunar insufficiency during S₂sounds like "dub-swoosh" |
What is the most commonly heard murmur? | Bicuspid valve insufficiency |
What is a septal defect? | *"Hole in the heart" *Causes blood flow to be turbulent |
