systolic murmur

Introduction

Introduction Systolic murmur is the most common murmur in the clinic. It can be functional or organic, and it is more common in function. It is one of the heart murmurs. Heart murmur refers to the abnormal sound produced by the vibration of the wall, valve or blood vessel wall caused by turbulence in the heart or blood vessels during heart contraction or extra heart sounds. When the mitral regurgitation is incomplete, During left ventricular systole, blood flows back from the left ventricle to the left atrium and produces murmurs, and the resulting systolic murmur is transmitted to the left iliac crest. Anything that increases the pressure gradient between the left ventricle and the left atrium during systole The factors can be enhanced by noise. When inhaling, the pressure in the thoracic cavity decreases (less than atmospheric pressure), the blood volume of the right ventricle pumped into the pulmonary circulation increases, the left ventricular filling volume also decreases, and is affected by the chest pressure, in the systolic phase. The pressure gradient in the left room of the room will decrease relatively, the amount of reflux will be relatively reduced, and the noise will be weakened. When exhaling, the chest pressure will increase (greater than atmospheric pressure), the blood volume of the right ventricle pumped into the pulmonary circulation will increase, and the left ventricular filling volume will also increase. Increased, and affected by chest pressure, the pressure gradient in the left ventricle of the left ventricle will increase relatively during the systole, the amount of reflux will increase, and the noise will increase.

Cause

Cause

1) apex: 1 Functionality: common in fever, anemia, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, strenuous exercise, also seen in some healthy people in a quiet situation. The auscultation features a hair dryer, soft, short and weak (1/6 or 2/6), mostly in the middle of the contraction, and the limitation is not transmitted to other places. It may disappear after exercise or after removing the cause. 2 relativity: due to the enlargement of the left ventricle, the relative closure of the mitral valve is caused by dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertensive heart disease and so on. The characteristics of the auscultation are a murmur, which is softer, and the murmur can be attenuated after the left ventricular cavity is reduced. 3 organic: more common, mainly seen in rheumatic valvular disease mitral regurgitation, mitral valve prolapse, papillary muscle dysfunction. The auscultation is characterized by a full systolic murmur, which can cover the first heart sound, high-grade and rough, and the intensity is often 3/6 or above. It is transmitted to the left or lower left scapular region, weakened during inhalation, and exhaled. Strengthened, the left lateral position is more obvious. 4 conduction: the murmurs in other parts of the anterior region can also be transmitted to the apex, such as the systolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation.

2) Aortic valve area: 1 organic: mainly seen in aortic stenosis. The auscultation features a jet or a blow-like murmur, a diamond shape, does not cover the first heart sound, is of rough nature, often accompanied by tremors, and the murmur is transmitted to the neck with A2 weakening. 2 relativity: mainly seen in aortic atherosclerosis, aortic dilation, hypertension and so on. The auscultation features a softer, murmur-like murmur, often accompanied by A2 hyperactivity.

3) Pulmonary valve area: 1 harmless: more common. Mostly found in healthy children and adolescents, the auscultation features a soft, weak, low-pitched, murmur-like murmur that is not transmitted, often below 2/6, apparently in the supine position, weakened or disappeared when sitting. 2 organic: rare, can be seen in congenital pulmonary stenosis. The noise is jetting, rough and loud, and the intensity is 3/6 or 3/6. It is rhomboid and is transmitted to the periphery and back, with tremor, P2 weakens and splits.

4) Tricuspid valve area: 1 relative: more common. Due to the enlargement of the right ventricular cavity, the tricuspid valve is relatively closed. The auscultation features a hairy sample, which is softer, enhanced when inhaling, and weakened at the end of expiration. It can be transmitted to the apical region, and attention should be paid to the differentiation of the mitral regurgitation. 2 organic: rarely seen, the characteristics of murmur and mitral regurgitation are similar.

5) Other parts: In the case of ventricular septal defect, the systolic murmur of the third and fourth ribs on the left sternal border can be heard and the loud and loud systolic murmur, the loudness is often above 3/6, and can be transmitted to other parts of the anterior region. With tremors.

ECG CT examination

Most patients have no obvious symptoms, and the symptoms appear intermittent, repetitive and transient. Common symptoms are:

1. Chest pain: the incidence rate is 60% to 70%, located in the anterior region, can be dull pain, sharp pain or knife-like pain, usually mild, lasting for several minutes to several hours, regardless of fatigue or mental factors, The administration of nitroglycerin does not relieve it.

2. Palpitation: Appears in 50% of patients, the cause is unknown. May be associated with arrhythmia such as frequent ventricular premature beats, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia or ventricular tachycardia, but dynamic electrocardiogram monitoring and atrioventricular beam electrogram examination found that some patients have no correlation with palpitations and arrhythmia high.

3. Difficulty breathing and fatigue: 40% of patients complain of shortness of breath, fatigue, often initial symptoms.

4. Others may have dizziness, fainting, vascular migraine, transient cerebral ischemia, and neuropsychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, nervousness, stress, fear and hyperventilation.

The patient's body shape is mostly weak, and can be accompanied by straight back, scoliosis or lordosis, funnel chest and so on.

Systolic reflux murmur. It is the noise generated by the blood flowing back from the high pressure heart chamber through the abnormal passage to the low pressure heart chamber, also known as reflow noise.
