Cardiovascular Examination Part 2
Precordium • Inspection • Palpation • Percussion • Auscultation
Inspection • Scars • Sternotomy • Valvotomy • Thorocotomy • Deformity • Pectus excavatum • kyphoscoliosis • Pulsations • Gynomastia • Digoxin • Spironolactone
Palpation Apex position and character • Absent impulse • Emphysema • Obesity • Pericardial effusion • dextrocardia • Forceful impulse • LVH
Palpation • Tapping impulse • Mitral stenosis • Dyskinetic impulse • Paradoxical ventricular wall movement in systole
Palpation • Thrills (palpable murmur) • Parasternal Heaves • RV dilatation or hypertrophy • MV disease • Cor pulmonale
Percussion • Percussion of cardiac dullness • Pleural effusion • Consolidation
Auscultation • Time heart sounds and murmurs against the carotid impulse • The bell – low-pitched sounds • The diaphragm – high pitched sounds
Auscultation • Area of auscultation • Apex • Upper LSB • Lower LSB • Upper RSB • Lower RSB • Under Clavicle • Over Carotids • In axilla • Listen at apex with patient rolled to the left side • Mitral stenosis • Listed at LSB with patient sitting forward, in expiration • Aortic incompetence
Heart Sound • Listen individually to the S1 and S2 • Loud or soft • Splitting • Splitting increased or decreased with inspiration • Listen for added sounds • Note timing relative to S1 and S2
Heart Sound • Listen for murmurs • Systolic/ diastolic • Duration (pan, early, mid or late} • Quality (harsh, soft) • Pitch (low or high) • Listen for prosthetic sound
Heart Sounds • Loud S1 • High output states • Mitral stenosis • Split S1 • RBBB • Epstein’s Anomaly
Heart Sounds • Loud S2 • Pulmonary hypertension (P2) • Systemic hypertension(A2) • Split S2(A2P2) • Normal in inspiration in the young • Delayed PV closure • RBBB • Prolonged RV systole • Massive PE • PHT • PS
Heart Sounds • Reverse Split • Delayed AV closure • LBBB • RV paced rhythm • Prolonged LV systole • LVOT obstruction • Aortic stenosis • Systemic hypertension • Fixed Split • Medium or large ASD
Added Sounds • Third heart sound • Fourth heart sound • Ejection Click • Opening Snap • Mid-systolic click • Prosthetic sound
Third Heart Sound • Due to rapid ventricular filling • Occurs shortly after the S2 • Usually low-pitched
Fourth Heart Sound • Due to atrial systole against a poorly compliant ventricle. • LVH • Occurs just before S1
Ejection Click • High-pitched • Closely follow S1 • Occurs in • Bicuspid AV • AS • Valvular PS • Dilatation of PA
Opening Snap • High-pitched sound • Occurs after S2 • Occurs as stenotic MV opens
Mid-systolic Click • Due to MVP
Prosthetic Sounds • Mechanical Valves – both opening and closing sounds • Absent sound may be a sign of valve dysfunction. • Thrombosis • Pannus encroachment • Valve disintegration
Murmurs • Timing • Duration • Quality • Pitched • Location • Accentuation • Radiation • Grading
Timing • Systolic • AS • PS • MR • TR • Diastolic • MS • TS • AI • PI
Duration Systolic • Pansystolic • MR • TR • VSD • PDA • Ejection Systolic • AS • AV calcification • PS
Duration • Early systolic • Severe MR • Late systolic • MVP
Duration • Early Diastolic • AR • PR with PHTN • Graham Steel murmur
Duration • Mid-diastolic • MS • TS • Severe MR • AR • Austin Flint Murmur • PR • Late diastolic • MS in sinus rhythm • TS in sinus rhythm
Quality • Harsh • VSD • AS • PS • Soft • AI • TR • Rumbling • MR (blowing)
Pitch Low-Pitched • MS and TS (low-pitched rumbling) High-Pitched • Regurgitant murmurs • Chronic AI and PI (high-pitched decrescendo)
Location • Know the areas where the murmurs are heard best • Aortic stenosis Aortic area • Pulmonary stenosis Pulmonary area • Tricuspid stenosis Tricuspid area • Mitral stenosis Mitral area (apex)
Location • Aortic insufficiency** Left sternal edge • Pulmonary insufficiency Pulmonary area • Tricuspid insufficiency Tricuspid area • Mitral insufficiency** Mitral area, axilla, rarely to aorta ** Not where expected
Accentuation Louder on Inspiration • TR • TS Louder in Expiration • AI (patient sitting forward) Pre-systolic • MS and TS
Maneuver that Aid in the Diagnosis of Murmurs *Patient may need to be standing for effect on pulmonic stenosis to be heard.
Radiation • Aortic area and carotids • AS • AV calcification (not carotids) • Posteriorly and to Pulmonary area • PS • Axilla • MR • RSB • VSD • AR
Valves Positions • In systole (ventricles ejecting blood) • AV and PV are open and • the MV and TV are closed • In diastole (ventricles being filled) • MV and TV are open while • the AV and PV are closed
Ejection Murmurs • Ejection murmurs are always systolic (blood is ejected in systole) • Ejection murmurs peak and (almost) always fall in intensity • This means they begin after S1 and end (almost) always before S2 • Ejection murmurs arise from the aortic valve or pulmonary valve (or less commonly from the LV or RV outflow tracts)
Regurgitant Murmurs • Regurgitant murmurs are high pitched (the flow is from an area of high pressure to an area of much lower pressure)
Regurgitant Murmurs • Systolic regurgitant murmurs are (almost) always holosystolic (= pansystolic) and begin with S1 and end with S2 • Examples are: • mitral insuffiency • tricuspid insufficiency. • A VSD is another cause.
Diastolic Murmurs • Diastolic murmurs can be • “Decrescendo”: high pitch, intensity decreasing during diastole, due to insufficiency of AV or PV • “Rumbles”: low pitched, localized, heard with bell, related to low pressure flow across a narrowed valve, (mitral stenosis, tricuspid stenosis)
Case 1 • You hear a systolic ejection murmur loudest in the upper right sternal border • Ejection murmurs come when a valve is not opened properly (stenotic) • This is the aortic area • This is the murmur of aortic stenosis
Case 2 • You hear a systolic murmur loudest in the apex which is regurgitant. • What valves should be closed in systole? • What area is this? • This is the murmur of mitral insufficiency
Case 3 • You hear a diastolic murmur loudest at the apex which is low pitched, and localized. • What does it imply? • What valves should be open in diastole? • What area is this? • This is the murmur of mitral stenosis
