Percussion
 It is done basically to see enlargement of
dullness of the cardiac region.

 Opening Snap
 Due to opening of AV valves
 Can be heard at the apex :
 MS, MR
 VSD
 PDA
 Or can be heard at parasternal region :
 Tricuspid stenosis
 Tricuspid regurgitation
 ASD
 Ejection Click :
 It is a sharp, clicking sound arising from the
cardiac valves due to sudden swelling of the
pulmonary artery, abrupt dilatation of aorta or
forceful opening of the aortic cusps.
 Early ejection systolic click is seen in aortic and
pulmonary valve stenosis
 Midsystolic ejection click is seen in floppy mitral
valve.
 Pericardial Rub :
 Due to sliding of 2 inflamed layers of pericardium
 Scratching, grating in character
 Triphasic : during misdystole, mid diastole & pre
systole)
 Best heard along left sternal edge in 3rd & 4th ICS
 MURMURS :
 Occur due to the turbulence caused by either an
increased flow through a normal/stenosed valve
or a normal flow through a stenosed valve/orifice
 Auscultation should be done over precordium,
back and over carotids
 They should be described in the following way
 Pitch
 Timing & character
 Systolic/diastolic
 Area where best heard
 Intensity
 Whether best heard with bell or diaphragm
 Conduction
 Variation with respiration
 Posture in which best heard
 Variation with dynamic auscultation.
 Eg/: murmur of MS is best described as;-
 Low-pitched,
 Mid-diastolic,
 Rumbling murmur,
 Best heard in Apical region,
 in LL position
 with the bell of stethoscope,
 not radiated,
 increases with isometric exercise.
 Systolic murmur
grading
I. Very soft (heard in
quite room)
II. Soft, but easily
audible
III. Moderate, no thrill
IV. Loud with thrill
V. Very loud with thrill,
heard with steth
barely placed on
chest
VI. Loud and audible with
stethoscope just off
the chest wall
 Diastolic murmur
grading
I. Very soft
II. Soft
III. Loud
IV. Loud with thrill
 Early systolic murmur:
 Ejection systolic murmur
 Late systolic murmur
 Pansystolic murmur
 Early diastolic murmur
 Mid diastolic murmur:
 Late diastolic murmur:
 MS
 TS
 Atrial myxomas
 Continuous murmur:
 Named Murmurs:
 Carey-coomb’s :
 Short, Middiastolic
 Best heard at apex
 MS in acute RHD
 Graham-steele :
 High pitched, early diastolic
 Best heard at left sternal border, 2nd ICS
 During expiration in PR
 Gibson’s :
 Continuous machinery murmur of PDA
 Cole-cecil :
 Murmur of AR, heard well in axilla.
 Austin flint:
 Low pitched rumbling mid diastolic murmur
 Best heard at apex in severe AR
 Gallavardin phenomenan :
 The harsh noisy component of ESM of AS.
 Best heard at the right sternal border and radiated to
neck
 Carvallo’s sign :
 Pansystolic murmur of TR, best heard in tricuspid
area.
 Becomes louder during inspiration
 Innocent murmurs:
 Functional/ benign murmurs
 Absence of anatomical/functional abnormalities of
heart and circulation
 Accentuated during periods of febrile illness and
high output states
 Characteristic features :
 Asymptomatic
 Normal cardiac silhouette on chest-xray
 Usually systolic
 Less than grade 3
 No cyanosis
 Normal pulses
 Normal heart sounds
Dynamic auscultation
 During dynamic auscultation, as opposed to
conventional auscultation, the patient is asked
to change position or perform certain activities
that enable the physician to hear the murmurs
and heart sounds.
 Respiration
 Valsalva manouvre
 Muller manouvere
 Standing to squatting
 Squatting to standing
 Passive leg exercise
 Isometric hand grip
 Leaning forward
 Chin turned upwards
 Respiration :
 During inspiration:
 Right sided murmur become louder
 Left sided murmurs become softer or unchained
 Expiration has the opposite effect
 Valsalva manouvre:
 It is an attempted forced expiration in closed
glottis, when both the mouth and nose are closed.
 It increases the intrathoracic pressure
 Murmur of MVP becomes louder
 Systolic murmur of HOCM become louder
 ESM of AS will be decreases
 Standing to squatting:
 It increases blood return and systemic vascular
resistance.
 HOCM becomes soft due to increased diastolic
volume.
 Isometric hand grip:
 Increases systemic circulation
 Murmurs of regurgitation ( MR,VSD) become louder
due to back pressure
 Murmurs of AS become softer due to decreased
gradient across the valve.
Thank you
