Would turbulence of blood flow through the aortic valve give rise to the first heart sound?

No. The heart sounds are caused by the closure of heart valves. The first heart sound is caused by the closure of the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral). The second heart sound is the result of the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valve after the completion of systole. Turbulence of blood flow through the aortic valve would cause a murmur (an abnormal heart sound) during systole.


What is the medical term meaning abnormal heart sound produced by turbulent blood flow in the heart?

If you're asking "Are abnormal heart sounds caused by valvular disease?," the answer is "sometimes." If you're asking "What are the abnormal heart sounds caused by valvular disease?," the answer is "it varies with the type and degree of disease." One of the most common abnormal heart sounds caused by valvular disease is a whooshing or swishing sound instead of the sharp thumping beat of a valve that's functioning properly.


What causes pathologic heart murmurs?

Abnormal heart sounds called murmurs are usually a result of faulty valves. For example, an incompetent valve fails to close tightly, so that blood leaks through the valve when it is closed. Another example, an incompetent bicuspid valve produces a swishing sound immediately after the first heart sound.


What is heart ablation?

Cardiac ablation is used to eliminate heart arrhythmia ( a disruption in the regularity of the heartbeat ) , caused by improper arrangement or placement within the heart.


What is the difference between an abnormal heart rhythm and a heart murmur?

Abnormal heart rhythm is a problem in the electrical system of the heart Heart Murmur- is a heart sound associated with a valve problem

What is an abnormal prolonged heart sound caused by incomplete closure of heart valves?

Abnormal heart sound caused by improper closure of heart valve is called a murmur. A murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow, when a heart valve either fails to open normally or fails to fully close.

The second heart sound is caused by?

Closure of the two atrioventricular valves, specifically the tricuspid and mitral valves.


What is the origin of heart sounds?

Heart sounds originate from the closure of heart valves during the cardiac cycle. The first heart sound (S1) is produced by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves, while the second heart sound (S2) is caused by the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves. These sounds can be heard using a stethoscope during a physical examination.

What does rub mean in medical terminology?

A "rub" is an abnormal heart sound caused by the heart beating against an inflamed pericardium or pleura.


What is the Improper closure of valve between atrium and ventricle during systole?

The improper closure of the valve between the atrium and ventricle during systole results in a condition called mitral valve prolapse. This can lead to blood leaking back into the atrium when the heart contracts, causing symptoms such as heart murmurs, fatigue, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it may require treatment such as medication or surgery to prevent complications.


What are the causes of abnormal temperature and respiration?

Abnormal temperature can be caused by infections, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Abnormal respiration can be caused by lung conditions, heart problems, infections, or metabolic disorders. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment of these symptoms.
