Cardiovascular Department Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital Makassar ANATOMY Anterior Surface of the Heart ANATOMY The Sectional Anatomy of the Heart CARDIAC CYCLE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION The jugular venous pressure The arterial pulse The PMI and any heaves, lifts, or bruits The S1 and S2 Extra sounds both in systole and diastole Cardiac murmurs JUGULAR VENOUS PRESSURE STEPS FOR ASSESSING JVP : Raise the head slightly on a pillow Raise the head of the bed to 30 o Use tangential lighting to identify EJV then IJV Raise or lower the head of the bed to see oscillation point Identify the highest point of pulsation
JUGULAR VENOUS PRESSURE JUGULAR VENOUS PRESSURE JUGULAR VENOUS PRESSURE Normal pressure (30 o ) 3-4 cm above the sternal angle Hypovolemic patients 0 o Hypervolemic patients 60 o 90 o 45 o 4.5 cm above sternal angle JUGULAR VENOUS PULSATION Normal Jugular Venous Pulsation JUGULAR VENOUS PULSATION Abnormal A-Wave Large A-wave & Slow Y-descent JUGULAR VENOUS PULSATION Ventricularized JVP Atrial Fibrillation ARTERIAL PULSE Radial artery, brachial artery, dorsalis pedis artery, femoral artery, carotid artery Assess : volume, contour, frequency, and regularity

No evidence of CV disease. Found in : children, young adults, or even elders Temporary increase in blood flow : anemia, fever, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism Location : 2 nd 3 rd left ICS. Radiation : toward the left shoulder & neck. Intensity : soft loud (thrill). Pitch : medium. Quality : often harsh HEART SOUNDS (MURMURS)
Location : 2 nd right ICS. Radiation : often to the neck & LSB, even apex. Intensity : soft loud (thrill). Pitch : medium, maybe higher. Quality : often harsh. Aids : sitting & leaning forward Location : 3 rd 4 th left ICS. Radiation : down to the LSB to the apex or base, not to the neck. Intensity : variable. Pitch : medium. Quality : harsh. Aids : squatting, straining down HEART SOUNDS (MURMURS) Pansystolic Murmurs
Location : apex. Radiation : to left axilla, less often to the LSB. Intensity : soft loud (apical thrill). Pitch : medium high. Quality : blowing. Aids : do not become louder in inspiration Location : lower LSB. Radiation : to the right of the sternum, xiphoid area, left MCL, not into the axilla. Intensity : variable. Pitch : medium. Quality : blowing. Aids : inspiration Location : 3 rd ,4 th , 5 th left ICS. Radiation : often wide. Intensity : often very loud with thrill. Pitch : high. Quality : often harsh. HEART SOUNDS (MURMURS) Diastolic Murmurs
Location : 2 nd 4 th left ICS. Radiation : if loud, to the apex, perhaps to the RSB. Intensity : grade 1 3. Pitch : high. Quality : blowing (maybe mistaken for breath sounds). Aids : heard best with sitting, leaning forward, with breath held in exhalation. Location : limited to the apex. Radiation : little - none. Intensity : grade 1 4. Pitch : low. Aids :placing the bell exactly on the apical impulse, left lateral position, mild exercise, exhalation HEART SOUNDS (MURMURS) Heart Sounds With Both Systolic and Diastolic Components
Timing : (1) atrial systole, (2) vent. systole, (3) vent. diastole. Location : variable, 3 rd ICS to the left of the sternum. Radiation : little. Intensity : variable. Pitch : high. Quality : scratchy, scraping. Aids : heard best with leaning forward, exhales, and holds breath. HEART SOUNDS (MURMURS) Heart Sounds With Both Systolic and Diastolic Components
Timing : continuous murmur in both systole and diastole, often with a silent interval late in diastole Location : 2 nd left ICS. Radiation : toward the left clavicle. Intensity : usually loud with thrill. Pitch : medium. Quality : harsh, machinery-like. HEART SOUNDS (MURMURS) Heart Sounds With Both Systolic and Diastolic Components
Timing : continuous murmur without a silent interval. Location : above the medial third of the clavicles, especially on the right. Radiation : 1 st and 2 nd ICS. Intensity : soft moderate. Pitch : low. Quality : humming, roaring. REFERENCES Bickley, Lynn S. Bates Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking, 8 th
