Cardiac output ? One minute of ____________________ output

Stroke volume ? One ____________________ of ventricle output



Cuff sound ? AKA ____________________ , cuff problems = high readings

Auscultatory gap ? usually indicates ____________________

Bruit ( ____________________ ) and thrills ( ____________________ ) ? indicate ____________________

Midsystolic murmur ? Semilunar stenosis

Pansystolic murmur ? AV regurgitation ( Pan means all throughout systole S1 - S2 )

Ejection ( usually systolic ) - semilunar stenosis :

Aortic ? same during respiration

Pulmonic ? decreases with ____________________

Clicks ( late systolic ) ? ____________________ prolapse ( apex and 2nd intercostal space )

Opening Snap ( very early diastolic ) ? mitral stenosis , high pitched , not effected by respiration , heard in apex in pulmonic region , often misdiagnosed as pulmonic valve abnormality .





Regurgitation = insufficient = proplapse = incompetent





S3 ( low pitched ) : heard near xiphoid ; associated with AV regurgitation

Physiological : Under 40 , often heard in children and late trimester pregnancy

Pathological : Over 40 , called ventricular gallop

S4 ( arterial gallop ) : heard at apex ; associated with pulmonic stenosis and pulmonary hypertension



Valve murmur rules :

Murmurs best heard at ERBS POINT - - 3rd intercostal on left

Location ( APET - M )

2nd on ____________________ - aortic

2nd on ____________________ - pulmonic

3rd on left - Erbs

____________________ on left - tricuspid

5th on left ____________________ - - mitral

When ( systole , diastole , pan , mid )

Description ( eject , click , inhale , exhale , high , low )

ARMS and PRTS for diastolic murmurs



Pericarditis ? ____________________ around the heart ; ____________________ present ( 4th intercostal )

Endocarditis ? infection of the heart muscle itself ( Strep most often )

EKG aka ECG ? evaluates heart rhythms ( MI , arrhythmias )

____________________ ? evaluates chamber size and fluid ( murmurs , CHF , carditis )

Cardiac enzymes ( for necrosis / infarct )

CK - MB ( CPK )

SGOT / AST
