HS and added HS

HS 1 Mitral and tricuspid closure When would it be loud?

MS, tachycardia, short PR interval, tachycardia

When would it be soft MR, PR long

HS 2 Aortic and pulmonary closure Which valve closes first – the aorta or pulmonary?

Aorta –

this is called splitting of second heart sound HS 3

Auscultate 2

Diaphragm Mitral Tricuspid Pulmonary Aorta

Carotids radiation of aortic stenosis

Bell Aortic Pulmonary Tricuspid Mitral

Left lateral position Listen with the bell in mitral

area in expiration

Listen in axilla with bell for

radiation of mitral regurgmurmur

Sit up In tricuspid area, listen for

AR in expiration Listen to bases of lungs Look for sacral edema Look at ankles for edema

Finish

Summarise 32 year old male. O/E heart sounds 1 & 2

present with no added sounds AND no

murmurs Also like to

Feel peripheral pulses

Do abdo exam looking for ascites andhepatomegaly in right heart failure

Do respiratory exam – looking for pleuraleffusion etc.
