| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where is the PMI (apical impulse)? | Left ventricule at 5th inter-space, 7-9 cm from mid-sternal line (mid-clavicular) |
| What closes at the S1? | Mitral and Tricuspid Valve |
| When is systolic? | Between S1 and S2 |
| What are four systolic extra heart sounds? | Aortic stenosis, pulmonic stenosis, HTN, and MVP Click |
| What are four diastolic extra heart sounds? | Mitral stenosis, physiologic S3, pathologic S3 or gallup, S4 or atrial gallop |
| What could cause an S3 or gallop? | Myocaridal failure, tricuspid or mitral regurg. |
| What could cause an S4 or atrial gallop? | HTN, CAD, Atrial Stenosis, Cardiomyopathy, delayed AV conduction |
| Where is physiologic splitting of S2 best heard? | 2nd or 3rd left interspace |
| What indicated pathologic splitting? | No change with respiration; should normally only be heard on inspiration |
| Where is the place to hear a pericardial friction rub? | 3rd space at left sternal border |
| Where is the place to hear a patent ductus arteriorsus? | 2nd Left space (congenital opening between aorta and pumonary artery |
