Study Notes

Cardiovascular Landmarks

Lateral thorax landmarks include:
- Axillary line (anterior)
- Axillary line (posterior)
- Midaxillary line
Anterior thorax landmarks include:
- Midclavicular line
- Midsternal line

Heart Sounds

Two heart sounds are audible in the pericordial area, notably:
- Aortic area
- Pulmonic area
- Tricuspid area
- Apical area
Each listening post correlates with the closure of a specific heart valve:
- A = aortic listening post
- P = pulmonic listening post
- T = tricuspid listening post
- M = mitral listening post
- E = "Erb’s point"

Assessing Neck Vessels

Inspection of neck vessels provides insights on blood volume and pressure in the right side of the heart.
A distended and visible external neck vein indicates higher pressure when the person is lying down.

Bruit

Bruit refers to a blowing or swishing sound, often found in older adults.
Causes of bruit include:
- Narrowing of the arterial lumen
- Conditions like anemia
- Hyperthyroidism, leading to increased cardiac output
