4. Why is it said that upon inspiration, s2 sounds are 'split' (also known as the physiological splitting of S2)?
- The split refers to a murmur in the atrioventricular valves, indicative of a defect, as normally the valves close simultaneously during inspiration
- Pulmonary valve closure heard after aortic valve closure, as the right ventricle takes longer to squeeze the extra blood out
- S2 sounds do not split. This happens in S1 heart sounds due to diaphragm negative pressure during inspiration
- Pulmonary valve closure heard after valve tricuspid closure, as the left ventricle takes longer to squeeze the extra blood out
5. Why would you consider getting the apical pulse?
- Carotid pulse is irregular
- For heart sounds
- Radial pulse is irregular
