Treatment Depends on cause [ 3 ] (See cause) Pulmonary (or pulmonic [ 4 ] ) regurgitation (or insufficiency , incompetence ) is a condition in which the pulmonary valve is incompetent [ 5 ] and allows backflow from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle of the heart during diastole . [ 6 ]
The loudness of the murmur does not correlate well with the severity of regurgitation. It may be followed by a loud, palpable P 2, [6] heard best when lying on the left side. [7] A third heart sound is commonly heard. [6] Patients with mitral valve prolapse may have a holosystolic murmur or often a mid-to-late systolic click and a late systolic ...
A pansystolic heart murmur may be heard on auscultation of the chest. The murmur is usually of low frequency and best heard on the lower left sternal border. It increases with inspiration, and decreases with expiration: this is known as Carvallo's sign. However, the murmur may be inaudible due to the relatively low pressures in the right side ...
Rokurokubi (ろくろ首, 轆轤首) is a type of Japanese yōkai (apparition). They look almost completely like humans with some differences. There is a type whose neck stretches and another whose head detaches and flies around freely (nukekubi). The Rokurokubi appear in classical kaidan (spirit tales) and in yōkai works. [1]
Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TECSA), also known as complex sleep apnea, is a type of sleep apnea that typically develops when a patient starts CPAP therapy for OSA. This can occur when ...
On auscultation of a patient with mitral stenosis, there may be a holosystolic murmur at the apex, radiating to the back or clavicular area, [16] a third heart sound, [16] and a loud, palpable P 2, [16] heard best when lying on the left side. [15]
A mid-diastolic rumbling murmur with presystolic accentuation will be heard after the opening snap. [3] [11] The murmur is best heard at the apical region and is not radiated. Since it is a low-pitch sound, it is heard best with the bell of the stethoscope. [3] Its duration increases with worsening disease. [3]
Respiratory sounds, also known as lung sounds or breath sounds, are the specific sounds generated by the movement of air through the respiratory system. [1] These may be easily audible or identified through auscultation of the respiratory system through the lung fields with a stethoscope as well as from the spectral characteristics of lung sounds. [2]
