Fig. 25.1 Grade 2 LLSB crescendo/decrescendo murmur after S1 The murmur increases to grade 4 with exertion. No ejection clicks noted. No diastolic murmurs are present. Test Results An electrocardiogram…

Fig. 13.1 Graphic depiction of the mid-systolic click followed by a high pitched murmur as seen with mitral valve prolapse. Since the murmur is due to regurgitation, the most effective…

Fig. 19.1 This 12 lead EKG tracing demonstrates a heart in normal sinus rhythm. There is possible inferolateral ischemia demonstrated by the T wave inversions in II, III, and AVF…

Fig. 15.1 Auscultation of pulmonic stenosis. Pulmonic stenosis is characterized by an ejection click, crescendo decrescendo murmur loudest at the left sternal border, and sharp, narrowly split S2 Test Results…

Fig. 21.1 Cardiac auscltation findings for a 60 year old female presenting with chest pain and a history of rheumatic heart disease A loud, crisp mitral closing click and a…

Fig. 18.1 A representative EKG significant for Q waves in the lateral precordial leads and an ST elevation in V4 An echocardiogram (Fig. 18.2) was consistent with finding of an…

Fig. 20.1 EKG demonstrating sinus rhythm and low voltage QRS consistent with pericardial thickening Chest CT (Fig. 20.2). CT scan of the chest in a patient with constrictive pericarditis demonstrates…

Fig. 5.1 Representation of the patient’s auscultation exam. A systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur grade 3 and diastolic decrescendo murmur grade 1 is present. S1 normal, however the aortic component of the…

Fig. 6.1 Diagram of the patient’s auscultation findings including a prominent ejection click, a diastolic crescendo decrescendo murmur and systolic decrescendo murmur Test Results Electrocardiogram is normal (Fig. 6.2). Fig….
