Cardiac Cycle Physiology
Heart Sounds Overview
Cardiac Pearls
Sample Questions
Cardiac Cycle
a wave: atrial
contraction. In late
diastole, atria
propel a final bolus
of blood into each
ventricle
c wave: small rise in
atrial pressures as
the tricuspid and
mitral valves close
and bulge into atria
v wave: passive
filling of the atria
from the systemic &
pulmonary veins
during diastole;
blood accumulates
in atria
S1 & S2
• S1: mitral & tricuspid valves close
– mitral closes before tricuspid
because of higher pressures
– nearly always heard as one sound
• S2: aortic & pulmonic valves close
– Inspiration Decreased
intrathoracic pressure Increased
compliance of pulmonary bed
(hangout time)  pulmonic valve
will close LATER
• Paradoxical split S2: seen in
conditions that prolong LV
emptying (aortic stenosis,
LBBB). Split “eliminated” on
inspiration.
• Widened split S2: seen in
conditions that prolong RV
emptying (pulmonic
stenosis, RBBB)
• Fixed split S2: ASD; left to
right shunt/flow, excess flow
from left heart to pulmonary
bed
S3
• Can be normal in young, healthy
(energetic expansion & filling)
• Occurs in early diastole
• Blood flowing into a
noncompliant chamber (MCC
volume overloaded states)
• Could be left-sided or right-sided
depending on ventricle
• Produces a ventricular gallop
• Idaho
S4
• ALWAYS pathologic
• Coincides w/ atrial contraction in late
diastole & a wave of JVP
• Due to decreased Compliance of LV
– Thickened, stiff ventricle (HTN, MI)
• Left Atrium has to work harder to
push blood into the ventricle
• Could be due to:
– 1) Concentric ventricular hypertrophy
• “atrial gallop”
• Alaska
Murmurs
• Stenosis – opening problem
– Murmurs will be heard when
valve is opening
– Sten: narrow, Os: opening
• Regurgitation – closing problem
– Murmurs will be heard when
valve is attempting to close
Stenosis
• Who is opening in systole?
• Aortic and pulmonic valves
– AS, PS
• Who is opening in diastole?
• Mitral and tricuspid vavles
– Mitral & tricuspid stenosis
Regurgitation
• Who is closing in systole?
• Mitral and tricuspid valves
– Mitral & tricuspid regurgitation
• Who is closing in diastole?
• Aortic and pulmonic vavles
– Aortic and pulmonic
regurgitation
Aortic Stenosis
• Crescendo-decrescendo systolic ejection
murmur
• Best heard at the 2nd intercostal space, right
sternal border
• Radiates to the carotids
• What extra heart sound would appear?
Aortic Stenosis
• Etiology
– Calcification of normal or congenital bicuspid valve
• Pathophysiology
– Obstruction of LV outflow in systole
– Reduction in aortic valve area  concentric LVH
• Patients present SAD
– Syncope (3 years)
– Angina (2 years)
– Dyspnea (Heart failure, 5 years)
• Pulsus parvus et tardus
Mitral Stenosis
• LA is working hard in diastole to push blood into
LV
• Opening snap
• Blood comes rushing into LV: diastolic rumble
• LA can hypertrophy  blood stasis  A fib 
thrombus
• Etiology
Mitral Stenosis
– MCC is recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever
• Pathophysiology
– Narrowing of mitral valve orifice
– Dilated & hypertrophied LA over time
• Patients present with…
1) Dyspnea
2) Dysphagia for solids (big LA on esophagus)
Mitral Regurgitation
•
•
•
•
Blood leaking backwards thru incompetent valve
LA becomes overloaded
Pansystolic, sometimes you can’t hear S1 or S2
Apical murmur, possible S3 & S4
Mitral Regurgitation
• Etiology
– Mitral valve prolapse (most common cause)
– Functional MV regurg (left sided heart failure)
– Infective endocarditis
– Rupture of papillary muscle in MI
– Acute rheumatic fever, Libman Sacks Endocarditis
• Pathophys
– Retrograde blood flow into LA during systole
– Volume overload in LV & LA  LHF
• Patients present with
– Dyspnea, crackles, and cough from LHF
Aortic Regurgitation
• Blood flows back into LV  overloaded 
increased EDV
• Heard after S2 (valve doesn’t close properly)
• High-pitched diastolic blowing murmur
• Heard best in 3rd LIC space
• Can eventually develop S3 & S4
Aortic Regurgitation
• Etiology
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Long-standing essential HTN (most common cause)
Dilated AV root
Infective endocarditis
Chronic rheumatic fever
Aortic dissection
Coarctation
Syphilitic aortitis, Takayasu arteritis
• Pathophysiology
– Retrograde blood flow into LV
• Patients present with
– Widened pulse pressure, bifid pulse
– bounding pulses, head nodding with systole

moderate edema up to both shins. An EKG shows left atrial and
ventricular enlargement. CXR shows mild cardiomegaly and
pulmonary congestion. Which of the following is the most likely
diagnosis?
A) Aortic valve regurgitation
B) Aortic valve stenosis
C) Mitral valve regurgitation
D) Mitral valve stenosis
E) Tricuspid valve regurgitation

B) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
C) Mitral valveregurgitation
D) Tricuspid valve regurgitation
E) Ventricular septal defect
Answer
• A) Aortic valve stenosis
• Late peaking systolic murmur, URSB, radiating
to carotids
• Progressive valvulopathy
• Pt has symptomatic disease with exertional
dyspnea & decreased exercise tolerance
Mitral Valve Prolapse
• More common in women
• Associated with Marfans and Ehlers Danlos
syndrome
• Pathophysiology
– Posterior bulging of leaflets into atrium during systole
– Redundancy of leaflets and chordae
• Myxomatous degeneration of mitral valve leaflets due to
excess dermatan sulfate
• Patients present with:
– Most: Asymptomatic
– Palpitations
Mitral Valve Prolapse
• Murmur: mid systolic click, mid-late systolic
crescendo murmur
• Decreased preload causes the click & murmur to
move closer to S1
• Standing, Anxiety, Valsalva
– Increased preload causes it to move closer to S2
• Reclining, Squatting or sustained hand grip
Ventricular Septal Defect
• Defect in interventricular septum
• Harsh pansystolic murmur at lower left sternal
border
• Associations: tetralogy of Fallot, Fetal alcohol
syndrome
• Spontaneously close in 30 – 50% of cases
Atrial Septal Defect
•
•
•
•
Most common adult congenital heart disease
Associations: fetal alcohol syndrome, Down syndrome
Mid-systolic pulmonary flow murmur
Fixed splitting of S2
• Excess blood in pulmonary bed causes delay in closure of
pulmonary valve
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
• Ductus arteriosus remains open
• Associations: congenital rubella syndrome, respiratory
distress syndrome, complete transposition
• Machinery like murmur
• Reversal of the shunt due to increased pulmonary
pressures
– Unoxygenated blood enters the aorta below the subclavian
artery, produces a pink upper body and cyanotic lower body
• Can close with Indomethacin (PGE2 KEEP)
Question
A 19 y.o woman is evaluated in the office for palpitations described as “extra
beats” that do not occur regularly. She has no history of syncope or presyncope,
no cardiovascular risk factors, and no family history of cardiovascular disease. She
does not have signs or symptoms of congestive heart failure and takes no
medications.
On physical exam, vital signs are normal. Lungs are clear. There is no S4 or S3. A
grade 2/6 late systolic murmur is present that is heard best at the apex and
radiates towards the left axilla. A mid-systolic click is heard. Following a valsalva
maneuver and a squat-to-stand maneuver, the midsystolic click moves closer to S1,
but the intensity of the murmur does not change. The rest of the exam is
unremarkable.
Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis accounting for the heart
murmur?
A) Innocent flow murmur
B) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
C) Mitral valve regurgitation
D) Mitral valve prolapse

E) Peripartum cardiomyopathy
Answer
B) Mitral valve stenosis
Loud S1, opening snap followed by a rumbling
diastolic murmur
Previously undiagnosed mitral stenosis often
first becomes symptomatic during pregnancy
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
• Causes: alcohol, Beriberi, idiopathic, genetic,
Coxsackie B myocarditis, drugs (doxorubicin,
daunorubicin), peri/postpartum state, chronic
cocaine use, organic solvents, acromegaly
• Pathophysiology
– Decreased contractility  SYSTOLIC dysfunction type of
LHF
• Patients present with…
–
–
–
–
–
All chambers dilated (global enlargement)
Regurgitation murmurs
S3
Balloon appearing on CXR
EF usually less than 40%
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
• Most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young
people
• Pathophys: hypertrophy of myocardium
– As blood exits LV, the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve is
drawn against the asymmetrically hypertrophied IVS
– S4, systolic ejection murmur best at LLSB, slow & late-peaking
– DIASTOLIC dysfunction
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
• Caused by: amyloidosis,
radiation, fibrosis after openheart surgery; Infiltrative
diseases: hemochromatosis,
sarcoidosis
• Pathophys: decreased
ventricular compliance 
DIASTOLIC dysfunction type of
LHF
• Patients present with…
– Progressive LHF and RHF
• Treat underlying cause
Manuevers to Differentiate Systolic Murmurs
• Changing Venous return (preload)
Valsalva
Squat -> Stand
Stand -> Squat
Passive leg elevation
• Changing Systemic Vascular Resistance (afterload)
Hand Grip
Nitrate
Manipulating Venous Return
• Decreased with valsalva and squatting to
standing- HOCM gets louder
• Increased with standing to squatting and
passive leg elevation – HOCM gets softer
SVR (Afterload)
• Hand grip increases afterload – increases
regurg murmurs and VSD (decreased in
HOCM, MVP)
• Nitrate decrease afterload
Valsalva
• Antonio Valsalva (1666-1723) was the first to
describe and drain the eustachian tube
• Manuever changes intrathoracic pressure and
venous return
• Bear down -> increases ITP, decreased return
and therefore LV volume (HOCM and MVP
louder, most others softer)

Usually occurs after many years but can occur
after a short period of heavy consumption
Both ventricles are dilated
Pt reports drinking daily
Labs suggest chronic use (macrocytosis –
possible folic acid deficiency), acute episode of
heavy use (mild elevation of aminotransferases,
new onset A fib)
Question
A 34 year old male experiences shortness of breath with minimal
exertion. Physical examination reveals elevated jugular venous
pressure markedly worse with inspiration, a regular rhythm with an
S4 heart sound and 2+ lower extremity pitting edema. Laboratory
studies are normal. Cardiac biopsy revealed green birefringence
with congo red staining. Genetic testing reveals a mutation in the
transthyretin gene. Which of the following is the correct diagnosis?
A) Restrictive cardiomyopathy
B) Dilated cardiomyopathy
C) Constrictive pericarditis
D) Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
E) Chagas cardiomyopathy
Answer
A ) Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Amyloidosis of the heart causes a restrictive cardiomyopathy
majority of the cases are due to a mutation in the transthyretin gene resulting in the
abnormal deposition of this protein in the myocardial tissue
The typical stain for amyloid is the congo red stain which displays an “apple green
birefringence”. Restrictive cardiomyopathy can also occur from sarcoidosis or
hemachromotisis
Physical examination reveals an S4 heart sound due to impaired relaxation
Dilated cardiomyopathy (B) can occur from viral myocarditis, alcohol, pregnancy, or
can be idiopathic. An S3 heart sound would be present.
Constrictive pericarditis (C) occurs after prior heart surgery or if many episodes of
pericarditis has occurred. A Kussmal’s sign may also be present, but congo red staining
would be negative.
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or HOCM (D) presents with exertional
symptoms such as syncope or sudden death. An S4 heart sound may also be present,
but again congo red staining would be negative.
Chagas cardiomyopathy (E) is due to infection with Tympanosoma cruzi and is
associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, megaesophagus, and megacolon. Parasites
may be seen on the biopsy.
