The lub is caused by the closing of the AV valves. The dup is caused by the semilunar valves closing at the end of systole.

What two sound are audible when the heart is functioning?

lub and a dub (or dup)


How might abnormal sounds be used to diagnose heart problem?

To understand what abnormal sounds mean you first must know what healthy sounds are. Two distinct sounds can be heard during each cardiac cycle. These heart sounds are commonly described by the monosyllables "lub" and "dup"; and the sequence is designate lub-dup, pauce, lub-dup, pause, etc.... The first heart sound (lub) is referred to as S1 and is associated with closure of the AV valves at the beginning of the ventricular systole (constriction). The second hear sound (dup), called S2, occurs as the semilunar valves close and corresponds with the end of the systole. Abnormal hear sounds are called murmurs and often indicate valvular problems. In valves that do not close tightly, closure is followed by a swishing sound due to the backflow of blood (regurgitation). Distinct sounds, often described as high-pitched screeching, are associated with tortuous flow of blood through constricted, or stenosed 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.


Which part of the heart makes the heartbeat sound?

A heartbeat produces the familiar "LUB-DUP" sounds as the chambers contract and the valves close. The first heart sound, "lub," is heard when the ventricles contract and the atrioventricular valves close. This sound last longest and has a lower pitch. The second heart sound, "dub," is heard when the relaxation of the ventricles allows the semilunar valves to close.


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.

What parts of the heart make the beating sound?

The first heart sound, the so called "lub", comes from the closure of the atrioventricular valve. The second heart sound, the "dup", comes from the closure of the semilunar valve.

A heart murmur that sounded lub-dup-shush would indicate which valve was failing to closeslide1?

A heart murmur that sounded lub-dub-slush indicates an unusual heartbeat. The valves may be benign or may indicate an underlying condition.


What are Lub and dub?

The sounds LUB and DUB (also dup) are used to indicate a human heartbeat, with the LUB sound made by the closing of atrioventricular valves, and the DUB by the closing of the exterior or semilunar valves (aortic valves and pulmonary valve).
