  2. Outline • Opening Snap of Mitral Stenosis • Opening Snap of Tricuspid Stenosis • Pericardial Friction Rub • Pericardial Knock • Mediastinal Crunch • Tumor Plops

  3. Opening Snap of Mitral Stenosis • Heard in Early Diastole a characteristic sign of mitral stenosis • Sharp, medium frequency, & moderately loud sounds • Early diastole at the end of the isometric relaxation period • Occurs .06 to .12 sec after the A2 • Severe Stenosis-LA pressure is higher & forces the valve quickly forward to an early snap

  4. Causes • In mitral stenosis, scarring & thickening of the valve leaflet edges has bound them together; the most common cause is rheumatic heart disease • Opening snap is a result of the anterior leaflet becoming taut, and snaps to a halt, producing a sharp early diastolic sound that is diagnostic of mitral stenosis

  5. Where to Listen • Use the diaphragm of the stethoscope between the apex the lower left sternal border at the fourth intercostal space

  6. Associated Findings • See figure 10-2 • Phonocardiogram of MS & Sinus Rhythm • Opening Snap crescendo diastolic murmur • Loud first heart sound • Accentuated presystolic component

  7. Intensity of the Snap • Mitral Stenosis the opening snap is almost always heard • Moderately calcified valve leaflets • Soften opening snap • Severely calcified valve leaflets • No opening snap • Physical activity & opening snap • LA mean is high louder opening snap • Aortic insufficiency • May decrease the intensity of the OS because of the reduced rate of anterior motion of the mitral leaflets in early diastole

  8. Pericardial Friction Rub • Inflammation of the pericardial membrane or pleural sac at the 3rd and 4th interspace at the left sternal border. Louder during inspiration • Scratchy, like sandpaper being used, a match being struck, or leather squeaking • Sound present when the epicardial & pericardial surfaces, roughened by inflammation, slide over one another during atrial & ventricular systole & during the passive motion of rapid ventricular filling • 3 components • Atrial Systolic (A) • Ventricular Systolic (V) • Ventricular Diastolic (D)

  9. Percardial Knock • Sharp, high-pitched sound present in 90% or more of patients with constrictive pericarditis • Heard in diastole • Occurs .09 to .12 sec after S3 • See figure 10-5 • Occurs after Heart Surgery, radiation therapy, viral infection, TB pericarditis • Diaphragm of the stethoscope listen at the lower left sternal border

  10. Tumor Plops • Clues to a Myxoma • Cardiac silhouette on X-Ray consistent with atrial enlargement • An ECG showing signs of LA enlargement • Light-headedness • A very short presystolic murmur • Extra sound in diastole

  11. Tumor Plops • Left Atrial Tumors • Loud, low-frequency thud heard in early diastole & caused by abrupt movements of the tumor inside the LA • It strikes the wall of the chamber or comes to a sudden halt as the pedicle reaches the limit its stretch • Mitral Valve Vegetation • Echo demonstrates a physical movement of vegetation across the mitral valve apparatus • Listen with the diaphragm of the stethoscope at the point of PMI with patient in the left lateral position
