    Study Notes

    Cardiac Auscultation: Understanding Heart Sounds and Murmurs

    • Heart sounds are caused by the closure of the heart valves at various points in the cardiac cycle.
    • The first heart sound (S1 or “lub”) is caused by the closure of the tricuspid and mitral valves at the start of ventricular contraction.
    • The second heart sound (S2 or “dub”) is caused by the closure of the pulmonary and aortic valves as the vessels start to relax during diastole.
    • Valvular heart disease can cause extra sounds to be heard between S1 and S2 (systolic murmur) or between S2 and S1 (diastolic murmur).
    • There are specific surface locations of the heart where a stethoscope should be placed to hear specific valves.
    • Aortic valve area: second right intercostal space (ICS), right sternal border (A1).
    • Pulmonic valve area: left second intercostal space (ICS).
    • Tricuspid valve area: fourth left intercostal space (ICS), left sternal border (T1).
    • Mitral valve area: fifth mid-intercostal space (ICS), left mid-clavicular line (M1).
    • Systolic murmurs are heard between S1 and S2, while diastolic murmurs are heard between S2 and S1 of the next cycle.
    • Systolic murmurs can be caused by aortic valve stenosis, mitral valve incompetence, or ventricular septal defect.
    • Diastolic murmurs can be caused by mitral valve stenosis or aortic valve incompetence, leading to blood “backing up” into the pulmonary circulation.
