What else can I help you with?
In relation to the normal heart sounds when would you expect to hear the abnormal sounds?
Abnormal sounds may be heard before, after, or during the normal heart sounds. For instance, sounds associated with stenosis may be heard before the closing of that valve.
Heart sounds are most easily heard by placing a stethoscope?
Apex
What causes the sounds heard through a stethoscope?
Your heart beat of course.
What produce the heart sounds heard with a stethoscope?
The valves opening and closing
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.
The monosyllables describing heart sounds during the cardiac cycles are what?
Lubb dubb corresponds to the heart sounds heard during systole and diastole, respectively.
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.
When do you hear the heart beat?
Actually , the heart beat is heard when the heart valves closes ! The sounds are described as "lupp-dupp"
What causes the heart sounds normally heard in a healthy individual?
Normal heart sounds are caused by the heart beating. This is the process of the heart muscle contracting and relaxing as blood flows through the various chambers.
Closing of the AV valves produces the?
The AV valves lie between the atria and the ventricles of the heart. The closing of these valves produces the lub-dub sound heard when the heart is auscultated.
What are the sources and clinical significance of the heart sounds?
The normal heart sounds are described as a lubb dubb. These sounds are due to the closing of the valves. If a murmur is heard, the valves are not closing properly and there is a back flow of blood. Also if the normal heart sounds are not in a rhythm, there is something wrong with the way the heart is working.
How is a heart beat produced?
The heart beat, also called heart sounds, is produced by the closing of the valves. The valves produce two sounds, known as lub-dub. The atrioventricular valve closing produces the first sound, or lub, and the semilunar valve closing produces the second sound, or dub.
