The first Korotkoff sound is the sound produced by the turbulence of the AV (atrioventricular valves) closing specifically the tricuspid and mitral valves. The second Korotkoff sound is produced by the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves. You can hear a splitting of the second heart sound in a highly efficient heart.

Systolic is measured at which korotkoff?
The systolic pressure is measured at the first Karotkoff sound (stage I), it is the first tapping noise that you hear with a stethoscope when taking a manual blood pressure.
What is the medical term for when sounds stop and restart while taking BP?
The first Korotkoff sound is when you first hear the pulse, and the fifth Korotkoff sound is when you no longer hear the post. Sometimes, there will also be an "auscultory gap," when you have a period with no sounds with korotkoff sounds heard before and after the gap.
What causes the systolic sound?
the systolic sound is caused by ventricular contraction
What causes disappearance of systolic sound?
There will be no systolic sound if blood is flowing freely. This occurs when there is no measurable constriction of an artery.
When taking blood pressure the first tapping sound heard is recorded is the first sound systolic or diastolic?
systolic
How do you Explain the underlying cause of the Korotkoff Sounds that you detected with the Cardio Microphone as the cuff pressure was decreased?
When the blood pressure cuff is inflated, the blood flow is stopped. Slowly the cuff is decreased. When the technician starts to hear the blood flow, these are called Korotkoff Sounds. This pressure point defines the systolic pressure.
What sound get between systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
If you are manually taking a blood pressure measurement using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, the sounds you hear between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure are called Korotkoff sounds, and they are muffled "whooshing" sounds heard with each heart beat and are thought to be caused by turbulent blood flow through the blood vessel caused by partial occlusion by the cuffed sphygmomanometer.
Sounds of turbulent blood flow that occur when blood flow resumes in an artery that has been occluded is what?
Korotkoff sound
Are the sounds of Korotkoff like a pulse?
Yes and no. They certainly sound like a pulse! But the pulse is a feeling of blood flow through a vein, whereas Korotkoff sounds are the sounds of turbulent blood flow through a constricted or partially occluded artery.
Describe what are sounds of korotkoff?
Sounds of korotkoff are the sounds that can be auscultated over a partically occluded artery.
When blood pressure cuff is deflating the first tapping sound is?
Systolic
What produces systolic pressure?
Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure during the hearts pumping cycle. It occurs during left ventricle contraction or sqeezing which forces the blood around the arteries
