1. S1:
Answer
- Closure of AV valves (tricuspid and mitral)
-"Lub" corresponds with carotid pulse, loudest at apex
2. S2:
Answer
-Closure of semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonic)
-Loudest at base;sounds like "Dup"
3. S1 split:
Answer Tricuspid and mitral valves closing asynchronously
4. S2 split:
Answer Aortic and pulmonic valves closing asynchronously
5. S3:
Answer
-Sound immediately following S3; "Kentucky"
-Physiological: children, fit adults > 30
-Ventricular resistance to filling during rapid filling phase
-Volume overload (HF, valve, regard, increase CO, e.g., PG)
-Pathologic or due to pregnancy
6. S4:
Answer
-Sound immediately before S1; "Tennessee"
-Ventricular resistance to filling at end of diastole
