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.

4 lis 2020 · S1: Caused by closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves. S2: Caused by closing of aortic and pulmonary valves. While auscultating, the radial or brachial pulse should be palpated as they indicate systole. Any murmur between S1 and S2 is named systolic as it occurs during the systolic phase of cardiac contraction.
The intensity of S1 depends upon: the position of the AV valves at the onset of ventricular systole, the structure of the leaflets themselves, and the rate of pressure rise in the ventricle. Normally, S1 is louder than S2 at the apex, and softer than S2 at the base of the heart.
