What is an invaluable aide in timing the sound of a murmur

Back 48

Palpation of the carotid artery during auscultation.

The carotid upstroke always occurs insystole immediately after S1 (lub) (closing of tricuspid and mitral)

sounds ormurmurs coinciding with the upstroke are systolic; sounds or murmurs occurring aftercompletion of the upstroke are diastolic.

Front 49

Location:
