1st heart sound (S1) Clicks. S1 and the 2nd heart sound (S2, a diastolic heart sound) are normal components of the cardiac cycle, the familiar “lub-dub” sounds. S1 occurs just after the beginning of systole and is predominantly due to mitral closure but may also include tricuspid closure components.

3 sie 2023 · Heart sounds are most often described by the “lub-dub” sounds, which are the mitral and tricuspid valves closing (S1) during systole, followed by the closure of the aortic and pulmonary heart valves (S2) during diastole. S1 is best heard in the mitral area, and S2 is best heard at the left upper sternal border.

13 sty 2021 · Heart murmur: sound due to turbulent blood flow in the heart; essential to identify during cardiovascular examination. Primary heart sounds: S1 (closure of mitral and tricuspid valves, marks start of ventricular systole); S2 (closure of aortic and pulmonary valves, marks end of ventricular systole). Aortic stenosis: ejection systolic murmur, ...
23 sty 2023 · “Dub” is the second heart sound (S2), marks the end of systole and the beginning of diastole, and is generated by the closure of aortic and pulmonic valves. The position of heart valves relative to the chest wall dictates the optimal position for auscultation.
The heart produces two primary sounds, commonly referred to as S1 (the first sound) and S2 (the second sound). S1 occurs when the mitral and tricuspid valves close, while S2 occurs when the aortic and pulmonic valves close. Let’s delve a little deeper into the intricacies of these heart sounds.
The first sound is called S1, or a lub. The second sound is called S2, or a dub. Your healthcare provider can hear these sounds when your heart valves are closing.
