In medicine, heart sounds are the "sounds heard over the cardiac region produced by the functioning of the heart. There are four distinct sounds: the first occurs at the beginning of systole and is heard as a "lubb" sound; the second is produced by the closing of the aortic valve and pulmonary valve and is heard as a "dupp" sound; the third is produced by vibrations of the ventricular walls when suddenly distended by the rush of blood from the heart atria; and the fourth is produced by atrial contraction and ventricular filling."[1]

Normal heart sounds

The location of the heart below the thoracic wall.

A diagram of the cardiac cycle is available and helps understand the normal heart sounds.[2] See image of cardiac cycleref name="isbn0-409-90077-X"/>

S1

S1, which originates from closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves is normally louder than S2 at the cardiac apex (fifth left intercostal space).[3]

S2

S2 is normally louder than S1 at the cardiac base (second left intercostal space).[4] "With quiet respiration, A2 will normally precede P2 by 0.02 to 0.08 second (mean, 0.03 to 0.04 sec) with inspiration."[5] Intervals less than 30 to 40 msec will sound like a single sound.[5]

The S2 is composed of A2 and P2:

  • A2 originates from closure of the aortic valve
  • P2 originates from closure of the pulmonic valve, is best heard at the cardiac base (second left intercostal space), and is quieter than A2.
    • During expiration, A2 and P2 are perceived as a single sound in 90% of people.[6][7]
    • During inspiration, the interval between A2 and P2 lengthens ('splits') and may as long as 60 msecs.[7]

Abnormal heart sounds

S2

More discussion is available online.[5]

  • Fixed split S2 may be from interatrial communication such as atrial septal defect
  • Paradoxical split S2 may be from
    • Conduction abnormalities: left bundle branch block, artificial RV pacing, preexcitation of the RV
    • Hemodynamic abnormalities: aortic valve stenosis
  • Wide split S2 may be from
    • Conduction abnormalities: right bundle branch block, artificial LV pacing, and preexcitation of the LV
    • Hemodynamic abnormalities: pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary hypertension
