|
a lift occurs with what?
|
right ventricular hypertrophy
|
|
examples of right ventricular hypertrophy
|
pulmonic valve disease

|
when cardiac enlargement displaces the apical impulse laterally and over a wider area when left venticular hypertrophy and dilation are present
it is called what? |
volume overload
|
|
volume overload occurs with what?
|
mitral regurgitation
aortic regurgitation left to right shunts |
|
when the apical impulse is increased in force and duration but is not necessarily displaced to the left
this is what? |
pressure overload
|
|
persistence of the channel joining left pulmonary artery to aorta
is what? |
patent ductus arteriosus
|
|
patent ductus arteriosus is normal/abnormal in the fetus?
|
normal
|
|
abnormal opening in the atrial septum, resulting usually in left-to-right shunt and causing large increase in pulmonary blood flow
is what? |
atrial septal defect
|
|
abnormal opening in septum between the ventricles, usually subaortic area
is what? |
ventricular septal defect
|
|
wide pulse blood pressure
bounding peripheral pulses from rapid runoff of blood thrift palpable at left upper sternal border continuous murmur/machinery murmur is indicative of what? |
patent ductus arteriosus
|
|
sternal lift
fixed S2 split murmur is systolic, ejection, medium pitch best heard at 2nd left interspace is indicative of what? |
atrial septal defect
|
|
loud, harsh holosytolic murmur
best heard at left lower sternal border accompanied by a thrill is indicative of what? |
ventricular septal defect
|
|
thrill palpable at lower left sternal border
normal S1; loud A2 in S2 diminished P2 murmur is systolic, loud, crescendo-decrescendo is indicative of what? |
tetralogy of fallot
|
|
upper extremity hypertension over 20 mm Hg
absent femoral pulses systolic murmur best heard at the left sternal border is indicative of what |
coarctation of the aorta
|
|
pallor
slow diminished radial pulse thrill in systole over 2nd and 3rd right interspaces and right side of neck S1 normal, ejection click, paradoxical split S4, S4 present is indicative of what |
aortic stenosis
|
|
loud, harsh, midsystolic, crescendo-decrescendo, loudest at 2nd right interspace, radiates widely to side of neck, down left sternal border or apex
is indicative of what? |
aortic stenosis
|
|
thrill in systole at 2nd or 3rd left interspace, ejection, click often present after S1, diminished S2, S4
is indicative of what? |
pulmonic stenosis
|
|
systolic, medium pitch, coarse, crescendo-decrescendo, best heard at 2nd left interspace, radiates to left and neck
is indicative of what? |
pulmonic stenosis
|
|
thrill in systole at apex
lift at apex apical impulse displaced down and to the left S1 diminished, S2 accentuated, S3 at apex often present is indicative of what? |
mitral regurgitation
|
|
pansystolic, often loud, blowing, best heard at apex, radiates well to left axilla
|
mitral regurgitation
|
|
engorged pulsating neck veins
liver enlarged lift at sternum thrill at left lower sternal border is indicative of what? |
tricuspid regurgitation
|
|
soft, blowing, pansystolic, beast heard at left lower sternal border, increases with respiration
|
tricuspid regurgitation
|
|
diminished, often irregular arterial pulse
life at apex, diastolic thrill common at apex S1 accentuated, opening snap after S2 |
mitral stenosis
|
|
low pitched diastolic rumble, best heard at apex, with person in left lateral position; does not radiate
|
mitral stenosis
|
|
diminished arterial pulse, jugular venous pulse prominent
|
tricuspid stenosis
|
|
diastolic rumble, best heard at left lower sternal border, louder in inspiration
|
tricuspid stenosis
|
|
bounding "water-hammer" pulse in carotid, brachial, and femoral arteries
blood pressure has wide pules pressure pulsations in cervical and suprasternal area, apical impulse displaced to left and down, apical impulse feels brief |
aortic regurgitation
|
|
murmur starts almost simultaneously with S2, soft high pitched, blowing diastolic, decrescendo, best heard at third left interspace at base, as person sits up and leans forward, radiates down
|
aortic regurgitation
|
|
murmur has same timing and characteristics as that of aortic regurgitation, and is hard to distinguish on physical examination
|
pulmonic regurgitation
