What causes the lub-dub sound of your heartbeat?

The 'lub' is the S1 sound. It occurs due to normal closure of the mitral and tricuspid (atrioventricular) valves. With these valves closed, systole commences and blood is actively squeezed from the ventricles. The second sound is the 'dub' or S2 sound. It occurs as the aortic (to LV) and pulmonary (to RV) valves close to prevent backflow from the blood ejected from the ventricles and marks the beginning of diastole (or filling) of the heart.


What is the Lub-Dub sound?

In the lub-dub version of heart sound, dub is caused by the back rush of blood against a closed aortic or pulmonary valve.

The normal heart sounds heard through a stethoscope are caused by the contractions of the ventricles?

Normal heart sounds (often called lub-dub) are caused by the pressure changes in the ventricles closing the various heart valves. The first sound, lub, is caused by the closing of the atrioventricular valves after the ventricles have filled with blood and as the ventricles begin to contract. The second sound, dub, is caused by the closing of the semilunar valves as the ventricles relax after pushing blood forward.


What causes the lub-dup heart sounds that are heard with the stethoscope?

The cardiac sounds (typically described as lub-dub) are caused by the closing of the cardiac valves. The first sound (lub) is caused by the closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves and the second (dub) is caused by the closing of the aortic and pulmonic valves.


When the blood passes to the right or left ventricle a valve will close between the atrium and ventricle what sound does it create?

The closure of the atrioventricular valves causes the first heart sound. We hear this as the "lub" of the "lub DUB" heart beat.
