🫀HEART SOUNDS MADE SIMPLE

🫀HEART SOUNDS

🫀The heart's job is to pump blood and this can create some noise.

🩸1st sound (S1): "LUB". This sound is due to the closure of the AV Valves (bicuspid/tricuspid). It happens when the ventricles start to contract "Systole".

🩸2nd sound (S2): "DUB". This sound is due to the closure of the SL Valves (aortic/pulmonic). It happens when the ventricles start to relax "Diastole".

✅S1 + S2 = normal heart sounds✅

🩸3rd sound (S3): caused by increased atrial pressure leads to rapid ventricular filling.
👤Found in: HEART FAILURE with older patients, normal in younger patients less than 40 yrs.
🎶Sound: KEN...tucky, KEN...tucky. Very similar to the sound of a horse competing in the KENTUCKY derby.

🩸4th sound (S4): caused by a forceful atria contraction against noncomplaint/stiff ventricle.
👤Found in: Patients with stiff ventricles from hypertension, aortic stenosis, ischemic heart disease.
🎶Sound: teNNE..ssee, teNNE..ssee

HEART MURMUR: normal blood flow is smooth with ⬇️ noise, heart murmurs are turbulent with ⬆️ noise.

🩸Mumur of Mitral Stenosis: caused by mitral valve narrowed.
👤Found in: Rheumatic Heart Disease, Infective Endocarditis
🎶Sound: whispering the letter "R"

🩸Murmur of Mitral Regurgitation: caused by incompetent mitral valve.
👤Found in: Weak Valve, Ischemic Heart Disease, Infective Endocarditis, Rheumatic Heart Disease
🎶Sound: Being freezing and saying "Brrrr" 🥶❄️

🩸Murmur of Aortic Stenosis: narrowed aortic valve.
👤Found in: idiopathic age related calcification of valve
🎶Sound: Touching lips to a fuzzy microphone.🎤

🩸Murmur of Aortic Regurgitation: caused by incompetent aortic valve that causes backflow of blood.
👤Found in: Connective Tissue Disorders (ex: Marfan Syndrome)
🎶Sound: diving and hearing noise underwater 🤿💦

Hope this helps!

Not just for nursing students, this a more informative and well put together video than anything my medical school has put together 😂

I have a mitral valve prolapse and have had some doctors ask if I know I have a murmur, so interesting to hear the difference.

[favi]

I think this confirms I need my ears checked

Most helpful post I’ve ever seen 😊thank you 😊 💗

[lindsayelaine]

This will help so many nursing students! Thank you!

Wow this was amazingly helpful! I’m about to graduate but I still don’t feel like I really have a grasp of abnormal heart and lung sounds.

It's very helpful for a nursing student

When i go yo nursing school im definitely buying your book. I take my TEAS test this month. i learn best through visual learning and learning by word associating. Your book would be perfect for me. Thank uou for making it.❤

This scares me. Heart n vein stuff freaks me out in general. Props to docs and nurses who can handle it

[briggyb]

What about a murmur from a PDA? Does it fall into either of those categories? Our daughter had one as a baby and the nurse found it when she was a year old. She had to have open heart surgery soon after. I am so grateful for good nurses. ❤

I wish information was available when I was going through nursing school 2002.

Yes I've done heart sounds wouldn't mind doing them again.

[harshitsatran]

after talking a lecture on heart sounds and then hearing thi is so satisfying 😊
thank 😊

My heart sounds like #2... Except for when it's just fluttering and then goes Ba BOOM and then returns to the second one... I'm sure it's fine though 😅

[jaymorgan.]

The last one sounds like a giant walking through snow.

[anaosegueda]

Thank you so much now is moreee clear thank you ❤

[Legendary_Starlight]

lol Im not in medical school yet but I still wanna learn stuff like anatomy and medical terminology, to make it a little easier and better than sitting around doing nothing :)!

[slightreply]

Good to know my heart sounds like the first one! 😂 also those murmurs sound scary

[breezeh]
