Heart Sounds
S1
This one goes with carotid pulse

Etiology: from mitral/ tricuspid closure

Heard Loudest: Apex

Part of Stethoscope: Diaphragm (high pitched sound)
Heart Sounds:
S2
Etiology: aortic/ pulmonic closure

Heard Loudest: base of heart

Part of Stethoscope: diaphragm
(high pitched)
Heart Sounds:
S3
Other names for S3: Montreal, Kentucky, A-stiff-wall, Pericardial knock, ventricular gallop

Etiology: blood crashing against stiff ventricular walls

Heard Loudest: apex, in left lateral decubitus position

Part of Stethoscope: low pitch
(bell)
Heart Sounds
S4
Notes: at the VERY end of diastole, aka: Toronto

Etiology: sound of atria squishing last bit of blood into the ventricle @ end of diastole

Heard Loudest: apex, in left lateral decubitus position

Part of Stethoscope: low pitch
(bell)
Heart Sounds
Opening Snap
Etiology: mitral* valve stenosis/calcification (can also be tricuspid)

Heard Loudest: apex, at LLSB

Part of Stethoscope: diaphragm
(high pitch)
Heart Sounds
Ejection Click
Notes: think Systole

Etiology: aortic/pulmonic stenosis

Heard Loudest: 2nd Right intercostal space (aortic)
2nd Left LICS for (pulmonic)

Part of Stethoscope: diaphragm (high pitch)
Heart Sounds
Mid-Systolic Click
Note: think later in cycle

Etiology: mitral valve prolapse

Heard Loudest: apex

Part of Stethoscope: diaphragm
(high pitch)
Mid-Systolic Murmurs
(HAPI murmurs)

HYPERTROPHIC
Cardiopmyopathy
Location: 3rd & 4th Left intercostal spaces

Pitch: medium
Radiation:Left Sternal Border
Quality: Harsh "whooshy"

Increases With: standing
Decreases With: squatting
Notes: the defected septum(?) gets in the way when pressure decreases (standing) and gets pushed into proper place when pressure increases (squatting)
Mid-Systolic Murmurs
(HAPI murmurs)

AORTIC Stenosis
Location: 2nd R intercostal space

Pitch: medium
Radiation: up to the neck (but it sounds like carotid bruit)
Quality: harsh

Increases With: squatting
Decreases With: standing
Notes: in this case standing causes decrease in volume/turbulence while squatting increases it
Mid-Systolic Murmurs
(HAPI murmurs)

PULMONARY Stenosis
Location: 2nd/3rd L intercostal sp

Pitch:medium
Radiation: L shoulder/neck
Quality: harsh

Increases With:Inspiration
Decreases With: Expiration
Note: breathing in gives atria more time to fill, thereby increasing the murmur
Mid-Systolic Murmurs
(HAPI murmurs)

INNOCENT
Location: 2nd/4th L ICS

Pitch: medium
Radiation:none
Quality:variable

Increases With: squatting
Decreases With: standing
Note: is a physiologic murmur; child, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism,anemia. murmur corrected by resolving underlying issue
notes in general on murmurs
heart murmurs are different from heart SOUNDS because:
->they have a longer duration
-->attributed to turbulent blood flow
mid-systolic murmurs:
in general
-start low, get high, drop off
-crescendo/decrescendo
-between S1 and S2
Holosystolic Murmurs:
(MTV murmurs)

Mitral Regurgitation
Location: apex

Pitch: medium

Radiation: Left axilla

Quality: harsh
(Bates says 'blowing')

Increases with: handgrip
Decreases with: valsalva maneuver
Notes: handgrip increases ventricular pressure & peripheral resistance. Valsalva causes HR/volume to go down, works on Vagus.
Holosystolic Murmurs:
(MTV murmurs)

Tricuspid Regurgitation
Location: lower left sternal border

Pitch: medium

Radiation: right sternal border & xiphoid region

Quality: blowing

Increases with: inspiration
Decreases with: exhalation/valsalva
Holosystolic Murmurs:
(MTV murmurs)

Ventricular Septal Defect
Location: "everywhere", left sternal border =loudest

Pitch: high

Radiation: wide

Quality: harsh

Increases with: handgrip
Decreases with: valsalva
notes on holosystolic murmurs
-aka- pansystolic
-go through S1-S2
-flat continuous shape
trick question on Test/PANCE:
-> where is the location of the AORTIC regurgitation best heard?
LEFT 2nd & 4th intercostal spaces
(it's a DIASTOLIC murmur)
Diastolic Murmurs:
(ArMs murmurs)

AORTIC REGURGITATION
Location: Left 2nd/4th intercostal

Radiation: to the apex

Pitch: high

Quality: blowing

Increases with:
1Leaning Forward
2 Expiration
3 Holding Breath
Notes: is the sound of backward/retrograde flow of blood from aorta to L ventricle
Diastolic Murmurs:
(ArMs murmurs)

MITRAL STENOSIS
Location: Apex (mitral area)

Radiation: none

Pitch: Low pitch (Bell)

Quality: Rumble

Increases with: Left lateral decubitus position or Exertion

Notes: Forward flow/filling murmur.
Diastolic murmurs in general
-heard BETWEEN S2 and S1
in general:
sounds/murmurs from Mitral Valve:
-usually heard best around CARDIAC APEX
in general: sounds and murmurs originating from the Tricuspid Valve:
-usually heard best around Lower left Sternal Border
in general: murmurs arising from the pulmonic valve are heard best where?
-from the aortic valve?
-pulmonic murmurs: heard best 2nd/3rd left interspaces close to sternum

-aortic anywhere from 2nd right interspace to APEX.
