Local Examination of CVS:
Inspection:
Chest wall symmetry and shape
Kyphoscoliosis
Apical impulse
Tracheal position
Pulsations
o Epigastric, hypochondrial
o Parasternal
o Supra & infraclavicular
o Suprasternal, neck
o Interscapular, suprascapular
Precordial bulge
Dilated veins
Signs of surgeries, scars
Drooping of shoulders
Oral cavity
Palpation:
Apical impulse - site/type/ associated thrill or sound
Epigastric pulsations
Parasternal heave
Thrills over precordium / carotids
Palpable sounds (P2)
Tracheal position
Percussion:
Right border corresponds to right border of sternum
Left border corresponds to apical impulse
Liver dullness is felt in .
Auscultation
Mitral
o First and second heart sounds are heard
o S1 / S2 - loud/normal/soft
o Any S3 or S4
o MDM: A rough rumbling low pitched MDM(of grade) heard with the bell of the
stethoscope with opening snap and PSA (pre systolic attenuation) and the patient
put left lateral position with breath held in expiratory apnea
o PSM: A high pitched, soft blowing PSM (of grade) heard with the diaphragm of the
stethoscope, conducted to the axilla and back, the patient put in left lateral with
breath held in expiratory apnea
Aortic:
o First and second heart sounds are heard
o S1/S2 - loud/normal /soft
o Any ejection click
o ESM: A crescendo decrescendo ESM(of grade) heard with the diaphragm of the
stethoscope and conducted to the carotids, the patient leaning forward and breath
held in expiratory apnea
o EDM: A decrescendo pitched EDM( of grade) is heard with diaphragm of the
stethoscope (better heard in the II aortic area say as LT with ICS parasternal) with
the patient leaning forward with breath held in expiratory apnea
Pulmonary:
o First and second heart sounds are heard
o S1/S2 - loud/normal/soft
o S2? Split? Narrow/ normal/ wide fixed / reverse
o Any ejection click
o For murmurs
See the aortic area
Say as in inspiratory apnea
No conduction as in ESM of AS
Patient in lying posture
Tricuspid:
o First and second heart sound heard
o S1/S2 - loud/ normal / soft
o Any S3/ S4
Refer mitral area
Say as in inspiratory apnea
MDM: Patient leaning forward
PSM: Patient leaning forward, conduction to right sternum
Other systems:
Respiratory system:
o NVBS
o Basal crepitations
Abdomen:
o Any added sounds
o No organomegaly
o No free fluid
CNS:
o No focal neurological deficit
Diagnosis:
Acquired/congenital heart disease of .(rheumatic) etiology with MS/MR/AS/AR.
The patient is (not)in sound rhythm,../ not in failure.. with /without
infective endocarditis complications.
