Heart Sounds

 

Auscultation positions: Apex (mitral); LSB2SP – left sternal border 2nd space (pulmonary); LSB4SP (tricuspid), RSB 2SP –right sternal border 2nd space (Aortic); LSB 3-4 SP –left sternal border 3rd to 4th space (Erb point to tricuspid); LSB 3SP – Left sternal border 3rd space – Erb’s point.

Each “number” includes audio narration by Dr. D.L. Roy followed by “sound” of specific heart lesion.

All heart sounds were recorded at bedside, are unaltered and represent real heart sounds from real patients. All patients received standard of care clinical diagnosis.

Mitral Valve Prolapse with Mitral Regurgitation
In this patient, a faint mid-late systolic murmur could be elicited (apex-diaphragm), but this recording was made with the patient standing and after exercise. Listen. A systolic murmur mid late i . . . keep reading
S2 Normal Heart Sound (LSB2SP)
The pulmonary valve is directly under your stethoscope. Along with aortic valve closure, the intensity of the valve closure signs, along with the movement of pulmonary valve closure gives you much . . . keep reading
Congestive Heart Failure (Rales)
Perhaps students do not see the terminal patient, with atrial fibrillation, rales, and peripheral edema, the picture of congestive heart failure. This is such a patient, an 88 year old who has had cor . . . keep reading
Gallop Rhythm (Apex)
A gallop rhythm refers to a (usually abnormal) rhythm of the heart on auscultation. . . . keep reading
Aortic Valve Stenosis (RSB2SP)
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease caused by the incomplete opening of the aortic valve . . . keep reading
Venous Hum (RSB2SP)
Venous hum is a benign medical condition where 20% of the blood flow travels to the brain and back to the heart . . . keep reading
Normal Heart Sound (Tricuspid)
In this station, your stethoscope is directly over the tricuspid valve and usually is the only position that you hear tricuspid valve closure, which is the second part of the S1 split. The spit is rel . . . keep reading
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis (LSB2SP)
The murmur of pulmonary valve stenosis, invariably congenital in etiology, sounds much the same at any age. The pulmonary valve is stenotic, elevating RV pressure, and causing turbulence in the pu . . . keep reading
Innocent Vibratory Systolic Murmur (Apex)
An innocent murmur is one which is not associated with organic disease of the heart. A very common innocent murmur (50 -90%) in children , known as Still's murmur, after the pediatrician who first . . . keep reading
Mitral Regurgitation (Apex)
You are listening at the apex with the diaphragm. The patient is a 26 year old female. S1 is difficult to hear, but it is there, jammed on to a murmur of 3/6 intensity. The murmur begins with S1 and i . . . keep reading
Aortic Ejection Click (Apex)
Aortic Ejection Click (Apex) #1 You are listening at the apex with the diaphragm. The patient is a 74 year old man who has no known heart disease. S1 is prominently split, with the second compo . . . keep reading
Atrial Septal Defect (LSB2SP)
There are three types of atrial septal defect, and only one will be demonstrated. The common defect is in the septum secundum, and its failure to develop leaves a large "hole" in the atrial septum . . . keep reading
