Murmurs

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Mitral Regurgitation   left sided heart failure, increase with expiration, problem closing valve during systole; holosystolic high pitched "blowing murmur" loudest at apex; MVP most common radiates to axilla  
🗑
Tricuspid Regurgitation   right sided heart failure; increase with inspiration; problem closing valve during systole; holosystolic high pitched "blowing murmur"; increase preload; best heard at left parasternal border, IV drug user; carcinoid heart disease; pulsatile liv  
🗑
Aortic Regurgitaion   Problem in closing diastole; increase LV EDV = increase frank starling mechanism; drop in diastolic pressure; "immediate high pitched blowing murmur"; involuntary head bobbing; isolated aortic valve root dialation  
🗑
Mitral Stenosis   problem opening valve in diastole, recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever; narrowing of mitral valve orifice; LA becomes dilated (due to increase ventricular feeling)>>>LV increase in PCWP =LA pressure; Low pitched mid to late diastolic rumble at apex. Open  
🗑
Tricuspid Stenosis   Problem opening valve in diastole; low pitched diastolic murmur often confused with MS; Murmur louder in inspiration which differentiates from MS  
🗑
Aortic stenosis   problem opening valve in systole; common cause of calcification of bicuspid valve; age related sclerosis valve; chronic RF; crescendo decrescendo murmur, radiates to carotids and apex; pulse weak compared to heart sounds "pulsus parvus et tardus' Diamond  
🗑
MVP[mitral valve prolapse]   late systolic murmur with midsystolic click; myoxamaotous degeneration of mitral valve leaflets "floppy valves" decrease preload --> hear S1 sound ; increase in preload--> hear S2 sound  
🗑
ASD   diastolic: wide fixed split S2 and loud S1; midsystolic ejection murmur, tricuspid rumble  
🗑
VSD   Harsh holosystolc murmur heard diffusely over the pericardium maximally  
🗑
PDA   Continous machine murmur heard at 2nd left space  
🗑
Opens during systole Closes in diastole   Aortic and Pulmonic  
🗑
Opens in diastole and closes in systole   Mitral and Tricuspid  
🗑
Regurgitations   problems closing valves  
🗑
Stenosis   Problems in stenosis  
🗑
