DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF HEART SOUNDS
2
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF HEART SOUNDS
In clinical cardiology: Systole – period of ventricular contraction Diastole – period of ventricular relaxation
3
What Is a Heart Murmur? These are abnormal sounds produced by turbulent blood flow in the heart caused by: Abnormal valve function: stenosis or regurgitation Increased volume or velocity of blood flowing through a normal valve such as during pregnancy, severe anemia, athletes Flow of blood through communications such as ASD, VSD
4
Main signs Timing: systolic, diastolic or systolo-distolic
Duration: e.g. pansystolic or late-systolic Site of maximum intensity Radiation Grading Character Relation with posture Relation with respiration
5
Timing of murmur You need to be differentiated by palpating the carotid pulse during auscultation Systole starts with the first heart sound (coincides with the carotid pulse) and ends on second heart sound. Murmurs heard during this period are called systolic murmurs Diastole is the interval between second and first sound and it does not coincide with the carotid pulse. Murmurs heard during this period are called diastolic murmurs

7
Area of maximum intensity
Murmur may be audible all over the precordium but the maximum intensity of murmur is heard where it originates
8
Radiation Murmur radiate in the direction of blood flow to the specific sites from the precordium. Usually the systolic murmur radiates. When the area of maximum intensity has been noted, the stethoscope should be moved radically from this point in different directions to observe whether the murmur is localized or radiating to other of chest wall.
9
Grading of systolic murmur
Grade Feature Grade 1/6 So faint or soft that it is heard only with special effort Grade 2/6 Soft, but can be detected almost immediately by an experienced auscultator Grade 3/6 Prominent but not loud; no trill Grade 4/6 Loud; thrill just palpable Grade 5/6 Very loud; thrill easily palpable Grade 6/6 Very, very loud
10
Grading of diastolic murmur
Grade Feature Grade 1 Very soft (heard only in good circumstances) Grade 2 Soft Grade 3 Moderate Grade 4 Loud or associated with palpable thrill
11
Dynamic maneuvers Relation with respiration:
Murmurs of left side become louder during expiration and murmurs of right side become louder during inspiration. Relation with posture: Diastolic murmur of mitral stenosis is best heard in left lateral position while the diastolic murmur of aortic regurgitation is best heard when the patient sits and leaning forward.
12
Dynamic maneuvers (2) Valsalva’s maneuver
Listen over the left sternal border during the maneuver for changes in systolic murmur of hypertrofhic cardiomyopathy
13
Functional (innocent) murmur
These SM are produced due to change in velocity or viscosity of blood. These SM are present in the absence of heart abnormalities, disappear on exercise, do not radiate, thrill is never present and there is no change in the loudness of murmur with change of osture or respiration. Causes are: Anemia, polycytemia Fever Cirrhosis Thyrptoxicosis Hypertension

Types of Murmurs Innocent (harmless) murmurs
A person with an innocent murmur has a normal heart and usually has no other signs or symptoms of a heart problem. Innocent murmurs are common in healthy children. Abnormal murmurs A person with an abnormal murmur usually has other signs or symptoms of a heart problem. Most abnormal murmurs in children are due to congenital heart defects-heart defects present at birth. In adults, abnormal murmurs are most often due to heart valve problems caused by infection, disease, or aging.

Types of Murmurs Innocent murmurs Normal heart murmurs
Benign heart murmurs Functional heart murmurs Physiologic heart murmurs Still's murmur Flow murmur Abnormal murmurs Pathologic heart murmurs
20
Innocent Heart Murmurs
Innocent murmurs are heard when blood moves noisily through a normal heart. Sometimes these murmurs occur when: Blood is flowing faster than usual through the heart and blood vessels attached to the heart. An increased amount of blood is flowing through the heart. Illnesses or conditions that can cause blood to flow faster than usual through the heart include: Fever Anemia Too much thyroid hormone in the body (hyperthyroidism) Innocent murmurs are sometimes due to changes to the heart resulting from heart surgery or from aging.
21
Abnormal Heart Murmurs
The most common cause of abnormal murmurs is congenital heart defects. Congenital heart defects occur when the heart, heart valves, or blood vessels attached to the heart do not develop normally before a baby is born. Common defects that cause murmurs include: Congenital septal defects, which are holes in the wall (septum) that separates the right and left sides of the heart. They account for more than half of abnormal murmurs in children. Congenital valve defects, which include narrow valves that do not allow enough blood to flow through them and leaking valves that do not close properly.
22
Abnormal Heart Murmurs
Infections and other conditions that damage heart valves or other structures of the heart also may cause murmurs. Theses includes: Rheumatic fever, a serious illness that can develop after a person has an untreated or incompletely treated infection caused by the bacteria that cause strep throat or scarlet fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to permanent damage to the heart. If your doctor diagnoses strep throat, be sure your child takes all of the antibiotics prescribed, even if he or she feels better before the antibiotics run out. Endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart and valves that is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Endocarditis is a serious disease that can lead to permanent heart damage and other complications. Endocarditis usually occurs in an abnormal heart. Calcification (hardening and thickening) of valves as a result of aging. The hardened and thickened heart valves do not work as they should.
23
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF SYSTOLIC MURMURS
A. Systolic ejection murmurs-forward flow across the left or right ventricular outflow tract. B. Systolic regurgitate murmurs—regurgitates flow from a high-pressure chamber to a lower-pressure chamber 1. Pansystolic regurgitant murmurs (mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, ventricular septal defect, left ventricle to right atrial defect) 2. Early systolic regurgitant murmur (acute mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation secondary to isolated disease of the valve, small ventricular septal defect) 3. Mid and late systolic regurgitant murmurs (papillary muscle dysfunction, mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse)
24
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF DIASTOLIC MURMURS
A. Diastolic filling murmurs (rumbles)- forward flow across the atrio-ventricular valves. Forward flow across a stenosed or obstructed atrioventricular valve (mitral or tricuspid stenosis, left or right atrial myxoma) High flow across a normal atrioventricular valve (mitral flow rumble of a ventricular septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus, tricuspid flow rumble of an atrial septal defect, hyperkinetic states, complete heart block)
25
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF DIASTOLIC MURMURS
3. High flow across an incompetent atrio-ventricular valve without significant stenosis (flow rumble of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation) 4. Forward flow across a partially closed atrioventricular valve (presystolic murmur of mitral stenosis, Austin Flint murmur secondary to severe aortic or pulmonary regurgitation) 5. Combinations of 1 through 4
26
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION OF DIASTOLIC MURMURS
B. Diastolic regurgitant murmurs—regurgitant flow across an incompetent semilunar valve: 1. Pandiastolic regurgitant murmurs (aortic regurgitation and pulmonic regurgitation secondary to pulmonary hypertension) 2. Abbreviated diastolic regurgitant murmurs (acute aortic regurgitation, minimal aortic regurgitation) 3. Delayed diastolic regurgitant murmur (organic pulmonic regurgitation)
27
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATIONS OF CONTINUOUS MURMURS
A. Continuous murmurs caused by rapid blood flow 1. Venous hum 2. Mammary souffle 3. Hemiangioma 4. Hyperthyroidism 5. Acute alcoholic hepatitis 6. Hyperemia of neoplasm (hepatoma renal cell carcinoma, Paget's disease)
28
PHYSIOLOGIC CLASSIFICATIONS OF CONTINUOUS MURMURS
B. Continuous murmurs caused by high-to-low pressure shunts: 1.Systemic artery to pulmonary artery (patent ductus arteriosus, aortopulmonary window, truncus arteriosus, pulmonary atresia, anomalous left coronary, bronchiectasis, sequestration of the lung) 2. Systemic artery to right heart (ruptured sinus of Valsalva, coronary artery fistula) Left-to-right atrial shunting (Lutembacher's syndrome, mitral atresia plus atrial septal defect). 3. Venovenous shunts (anomalous pulmonary veins, portosystemic shunts)| 4. Arteriovenous fistula (systemic or pulmonic)
29
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Heart Murmurs?
Most people with heart murmurs do not have any other signs and symptoms of a heart problem. The murmur is usually innocent (harmless). Some people with heart murmurs do have signs and symptoms of a heart problem. The signs and symptoms may include: Blue coloring of the skin, especially on the fingertips and inside the mouth Poor eating and failure to grow normally (in infants) Fast breathing Excessive sweating Chest pain Dizziness Shortness of breath Fainting Fatigue (feeling very tired) The signs and symptoms depend on the cause and the severity of the problem causing the murmur.
30
How Are Heart Murmurs Diagnosed?
Doctors use a stethoscope to listen to heart sounds and hear murmurs. They often notice innocent heart murmurs during routine checkups or physical exams. Physical Exam Doctors listen carefully to the heart with a stethoscope to help decide if a murmur is innocent or abnormal. They listen to the loudness, location, and timing of the murmur to classify and describe the sound. This helps the doctor begin to diagnose the cause of the murmur.
31
How Are Heart Murmurs Diagnosed?
The doctor also: Takes a medical and family history Does a complete physical exam, looking for signs of illness or physical problems (such as blue coloring of the skin, delayed growth, and feeding problems in an infant) Asks about symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath (especially with exercise), dizziness, or fainting
32
Tests Chest x-ray. A chest x ray takes a picture of your heart and lungs. It can show if the heart is enlarged, and it can show some problems of the heart and lungs. (С/Т)х100 (normal < 50%)
33
Tests ECG. This test is used to measure the rate and regularity of your heartbeat. The EKG can help rule out a variety of heart problems. Will most likely do the followup testing. These tests might include: An echocardigram, a test that uses ultrasound (sound waves) to allow doctors to view your heart as it pumps and relaxes. The echocardiogram is more detailed than an x-ray image and shows the structure and function of the heart. In some cases, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) might be needed to get a better view of the heart. In TEE, the doctor inserts an ultrasound probe down the throat into the esophagus after the patient is sedated.
34
Tests Cardiac catheterization and angiography.
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is passed through an artery or vein in your upper thigh (groin) or in your arm to reach the heart, after you are sedated. This allows measurement of pressure inside the heart and blood vessels. Angiography involves injecting a dye that can be seen by using x ray. This helps the doctor see the flow of blood through the heart and blood vessels.
35
Mitral Regurgitation (MR)
Chronic MR Rheumatic heart disease (50%) Mitral valve prolapse Disease that cause dilatation of left ventricle cavity cause dilatation of valve annulus and mild MR (called functional MR), such disease are: Aortic valve disease Acute rheumatic fever Myocarditis Dilated cardiomyopathy Ischemic heart disease Acute MR Myocardial infarction (due rupture of chordae tendineae) Infective endocarditis
