They are classically described as “lub-dub” sounds that are best heard while auscultating the precordium (area of the anterior chest wall around the heart). The “lub” part of the heart sound arises from the atrioventricular valves, while the “dub” part of the sound is generated by ...
Cardiac valves The four cardiac valves lie behind the body of the sternum along a line that is nearly vertical. The location of the valves is, from above downwards, the pulmonary valve, aortic valve, mitral valve and tricuspid valve. Normal heart sounds are the result of abrupt apposition of...
The main normal heart sounds are the S1 and the S2 heart sound. The S3 can be normal, at times, but may be pathologic. A S4 heart sound is almost always pathologic. Heart sounds can be described by their intensity, pitch, location, quality and timing in the cardiac cycle. Intensity:Hea...

Clinical examination of the heart with a stethoscope for abnormal heart sounds also calledheart murmur. Ultrasound of the heart, also called anechocardiogram. What are the signs and symptoms of a leaky heart valve? Many healthy people may have one or more valves that are slightly leaky, which ...
However, most of these designs have never become commercial because of some shortcoming, and the need continues for improved prosthetic heart valves for permanent implantation into the human heart. In its open position, a prosthetic valve should provide a passageway which is large and which has ...
which cause (1) increases in heart rate and contractility to increase cardiac output, (2) vasoconstriction to maintain arterial blood pressure, and (3) retention of water and sodium to increase circulatory volume, which, together with venoconstriction and opening of the renal portal valves, increas...
sounds: the first sound () which is generated by the closing of aortic valves and the vibrations associated with tensing of the chordate trendiness and the ventricular walls, the second sound () is produced by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves at the beginning of is volumetric ...
A tolerance of 1-2 mm between the location of the midline 280 and the distalmost end 282 of the skirt is acceptable which may occur for different sizes of valves and associated skirt 26.FIG. 12A shows an exemplary stepped balloon construction wherein the balloon 112 is desirably offset ...
