1 Systolic Ejection Murmurs Chapter 14
Are G. Talking, MD, FACC Instructor Patricia L. Thomas, MBA, RCIS

2 Outline Tetralogy of Fallot Outflow Tracts
Dilatation of the Proximal Pulmonary Pulmonary Arterial Narrowing Coarctation of the Aorta Musical Murmurs Outflow Tracts Inflow Tracts Inter-Ventricular Flow Ejection Murmur Classification of Ejection Aortic Stenosis Bicuspid Aortic Valve

3 Introduction Levine stated, “Systolic noise with a duration longer than a heart sound.” Result of turbulent blood flow across outflow tracts, ejection murmurs,inflow tract, and from ventricle to ventricle

4 Outflow Tracts/ Ejection Pathways
Left outflow tract Left ventricle Aortic valve Aortic root Ascending Aorta Right outflow tract Right ventricle Pulmonary Valve Main Pulmonary Artery

5 Causes of Abnormalities of Flow
Forward flow across normal outflow tracts Forward flow across stenosed aortic or pulmonic outflow tracts High flow across normal right or left ventricular outflow tracts High flow across a regurgitant aortic or pulmonic valve without significant stenosis Forward flow into a dilated great vessel

6 Inflow Tracts The inflow tracts of the heart are the chambers that are open to tack other during diastolic filling. Mitral valve is part of the left inflow tract Tricuspid valve is part of the right inflow tract Abnormalities are insufficiency/regurgitant related: rheumatic valvular disease, mitral valve prolapse, or papillary muscle dysfunction

7 Inter-Ventricular Flow
Small VSD results in turbulent blood flow from ventricular to ventricle

8 Ejection Murmur Mixed frequencies and is moderate-to-marked crescendo-decrescendo Caused by forward flow across the left or right outflow Aortic stenosis & pulmonic stenosis

9 Classification of Ejection Murmurs
Early Systolic Ejection Murmur Commonly heard in a small VSD without pulmonary hypertension, large VSD with pulmonary hypertension, septal perforation resulting from MI, acute severe mitral regurgitation Mid-systolic Ejection Murmur Long and is loudest in mid-systolic with the sound of S2 clearly audible & implies significant aortic or pulmonic outflow tract obstruction, TOF, dilatation of he proximal pulmonary artery or ASD

10 Aortic Stenosis Murmur is harsh, rough, & grunting
Degrees of Obstruction Mild- softer, shorter & earlier-peaking systolic murmur Severe-louder, longer, & late-peaking murmur Causes Result of congenital aortic valve disease, rheumatic fever (aortic & mitral valve involved), or degenerative calcification in elderly patients Listen with the diaphragm of the stethoscope for maximal intensity at the second right intercostal space; listen at the apex & over the precordium, both clavicles, both carotids, & suprasternal notch

15 Pulmonic Valve Stenosis
Harsh systolic murmur,wide splitting of S2 Loudest in the 2nd & 3rd interspaces along the left sternal border (pulmonic area) Palpable Thrill felt directed toward the left neck or clavicle Murmur peaks in mid-systole with maximal ejection & produces a diamond shape on the phono. Heard during expiration Ejection sound heard over the pulmonary area Sound caused by doming & abrupt arrest in motion of the stenotic PV

18 Tetralogy of Fallot Described by Fallot in 1888
VSD, Pulmonic Stenosis, Dextroposition of the aorta & RV hypertrophy PS results of a fibromuscular ring below the PV in the RV out flow tract-infundibular More severe the obstruction, the more blood is shunted RT to LT the VSD Systolic thrill pulmonic with grade IV murmur

21 Coarctation of the Aorta
Grade II or III murmur Heard posteriorly & over base of the heart Hypertension in the arms, but not in the legs Decreased or absent femoral arterial pulsation

22

23 Musical Murmurs Caused by vibrating structure enve in the the absence of flow turbulence Musical systolic murmurs Cooing of a dove Buzzing of a saw Spinning of a top Whistling Systolic whoop Precordial honk Mitral valve prolapse can assume such a noise
