Murmurs Pt. 1
A very faint murmur, heard only with careful listening.
What is a Grade I Murmur?
A moderately loud murmur without a thrill.
What is a grade III murmur?
The region on the chest where the aortic valve sounds are best heard, typically the 2nd right intercostal space near the sternum.
What is the aortic area?
A regular heartbeat in newborns, typically ranging from 120 to 160 beats per minute, originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node.
What is normal sinus rhythm?
The second heart sound, caused by closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves.
What is S2?
A heart murmur that occurs throughout systole and diastole without interruption.
What is a Continuous Murmur?
A loud murmur that is associated with a palpable thrill.
What is a grade IV murmur?
The region on the chest where the mitral valve sounds are best heard, typically the 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line.
What is the mitral area?
Early heartbeats originating in the ventricles.
What is a Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC)?
The first heart sound, caused by closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
What is S1?
A soft murmur, but heard immediately once the stethoscope is placed on the chest.
What is a grade II murmur?
A very loud murmur heard with the stethoscope lightly on the chest and with a thrill.
What is a Grade V murmur?
The region on the chest where the pulmonary valve sounds are best heard, typically the 2nd left intercostal space near the sternum.
What is the pulmonic area?
A normal variation in heart rate related to breathing.
What is Sinus Arrhythmia?
A third heart sound, often indicating increased fluid volume or heart failure.

What is a Loud Systolic Ejection Murmur?
A murmur that starts softly and increases in intensity during systole.
What is a Continuous Systolic (Crescendo Systolic) Murmur?
A fourth heart sound, associated with stiff or hypertrophic ventricles.
What is S4?
A slower than normal heart rate originating from the sinus node.
The phenomenon when heart sounds, usually S2, are heard as two distinct sounds due to asynchronous valve closure.
What is splitting?
The loudest murmur heard with the stethoscope off the chest and a thrill present.
What is a grade VI murmur?
A gentle murmur occurring early in systole as blood is ejected from the ventricles.
What is a Early Soft Midsystolic Ejection Murmur?
It can occur with ASD, pulmonary stenosis, Ebstein's anomaly, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, mitral regurgitation, or right bundle branch block.
A faster than normal heart rate originating from the sinus node.
What is sinus tachycardia?
A delayed closure of the pulmonary valve causing the split of S2 to be more pronounced.
What is wide splitting?
