The second heart sound

American Heart Journal, 1968
Abstract The second heart sound can provide important diagnostic information. Although the entire auscultatory examination should be performed with equal care, close attention to the second heart sound may be particularly rewarding. The fact that the interval between the two components of the second heart sound, the intensity of the aortic and ...

The Third Heart Sound

Southern Medical Journal, 1999
In the current era of cost-effective delivery of health care, it is particularly timely to carefully reevaluate the clinical utility of selected physical signs. The third heart sound (S3) is one such sign that is the focus of the current review.I conducted a computerized MEDLINE search of articles related to S3 published since 1966.

Heart Sounds Interference Cancellation in Lung Sounds

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
Several attempts have been made to achieve a quantitative analysis of lung sounds mainly for two purposes: a) an understanding of their genesis, and b) an insight of their changes with pathologies for medical diagnosis. Early studies involved the collection of acoustic information at several positions on the thoracic surface or at the extra-thoracic ...

Handy heart sound simulator

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1975
A simple bedside technique of heart sound simulation using hand and stethoscope is described. The technique utilizes tissue vibration and sound conduction with the usual air column of a stethoscope to reproduce auscultatory events accurately without the distortion that often accompanies electrical production of heart sounds.

apical pulse. They heard, but seldom identified, heard sounds. Today, the nurse, as the person most consistently at the patient's bedside can and ought to develop skills in cardiac auscultation so that changes in cardiac sounds, which may indicate a need for therapeutic intervention, can be detected early.

The third heart sound

International Journal of Cardiology, 1985
A unitary concept is proposed to explain the genesis of the third heart sound and associated "rapid filling wave" of the apexcardiogram in physiological and pathological states including constrictive pericarditis. This theory not only clarifies the hitherto unexplained phenomenon such as presence of S3 in significant mitral stenosis, but also places in
