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.
26 sty 2021 · S2 heart sound corresponds to the closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves at the beginning of diastole. S 2 may be subdivided into aortic (A 2) and pulmonary (P 2) sounds as the aortic valve closes slightly before the pulmonary valve.
3 sie 2023 · This is called the second heart sound (S2) and it is best auscultated at the Erb’s point. This landmark is located on the left third intercostal space, parasternally, between the pulmonic and tricuspid areas. In addition to the physiological S1 and S2 sounds, additional ones can occasionally be heard.
4 lip 2023 · Heart sounds are brief, transient sounds produced by valve opening and closure and by movement of blood in the heart. They are divided into systolic and diastolic sounds. In most cases, only the first (S1) and second (S2) heart sounds are heard.

17 lip 2023 · The S1 heart sound is produced as the mitral and tricuspid valves close in systole. [8] [9] This structural and hemodynamic change creates vibrations that are audible at the chest wall. The mitral valve closing is the louder component of S1.
