First of all, we&#8217;re going to take a look at the <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/heart-anatomy-and-physiology\/\">anatomy of the heart<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Heart_Anatomy\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Heart Anatomy<\/h2>\n<p>\nEach half of the heart has an upper collecting chamber, the <strong>atrium<\/strong>, and a lower pumping chamber, the <strong>ventricle<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/heart-chambers.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"416\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-84937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/heart-chambers.png 267w, https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/heart-chambers-193x300.png 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can remember their location because A comes before V. The atrium is above the ventricle.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Heart_Sounds\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Heart Sounds<\/h2>\n<p>\nNext, we&#8217;ll take a look at the heart sounds heard with a stethoscope. As blood flows from the atria to the ventricles, it passes through the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, also known as the atrial ventricular or AV valves. These valves then snap shut, making the first heart sound S1, or &#8220;lub&#8221; in &#8220;lub dub.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/heart-pumping.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"309.4\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-211948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/heart-pumping.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/heart-pumping-300x228.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As these two valves snap shut, the pulmonary and aortic valve just opened. This is the beginning of systole or contraction of the ventricles. As the ventricles contract, blood is pumped through the pulmonary valve leading to the lungs and the aortic valve leading to the aorta and the rest of the body.<\/p>\n<p>These valves then snap shut making the second heart sound S2 or &#8220;dub&#8221; in &#8220;lub dub.&#8221; This is the end of systole and the beginning of diastole. At the same time, the tricuspid and bicuspid valves just opened and the process repeats.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Blood_Flow\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Blood Flow<\/h2>\n<p>\n<a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/heart-blood-flow\/\">Blood flows<\/a> from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, then on through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery and lungs. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/more-valves.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"357\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-84946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/more-valves.png 575w, https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/more-valves-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pulmonary veins<\/strong> return blood to the left atrium through the bicuspid, or mitral, valve to the left ventricle and through the aortic valve, to the aorta and the rest of the body.

The pulmonic valve area is located on the left side at the second intercostal space.<\/p>\n<p>Erb&#8217;s point is at the left third intercostal space.

Murmurs are caused by abnormal blood flow or a structural alteration in the heart or the walls of the major vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Some murmurs are innocent and may disappear over time or last a lifetime without causing further health problems. Other murmurs are abnormal and more serious. You can remember the various causes of heart murmurs by remembering <strong>SPAMS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\" style=\"font-size: 100%; text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>S<\/strong>tenosis of a valve<br \/>\n<strong>P<\/strong>artial obstruction<br \/>\n<strong>A<\/strong>neurysms<br \/>\n<strong>M<\/strong>itral or aortic regurgitation<br \/>\n<strong>S<\/strong>eptal defect<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nS for stenosis, or narrowing of a valve. P for partial obstruction, which may be due to calcification, valve degeneration, coronary artery disease, or congenital abnormalities. A for aneurysms, in which an area of the aorta has become weak and enlarged. M for mitral or aortic regurgitation. This is when blood is leaking backward through the mitral or aortic valve. The heart has to work harder to force blood through the damaged valve and over time this can weaken or enlarge the heart leading to heart failure. S for septal defect, this is a hole in the septum that separates the ventricles or the atria.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Heart_Blocks\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Heart Blocks<\/h2>\n<p>\nA heart block is an abnormal heart rhythm known as an arrhythmia and can occur anywhere in the specialized conduction system of the heart. The electrical signals telling the heart to contract are partially or totally blocked between the atria and ventricles. Therefore, it is called an atrioventricular, or AV block.<\/p>\n<p>The AV blocks are identified by their severity: first-degree or second-degree, which can be subdivided into Type I (Wenckebach) and Type II (Mobitz II), and then third-degree heart block. What does all of this mean? Here&#8217;s our further explanation. <\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"FirstDegree\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>First-Degree<\/h3>\n<p>\nFirst-degree heart block occurs when the electrical impulses are slowed down but they all successfully reach the ventricles.<\/p>\n<p>This type rarely causes problems and is often seen in highly trained athletes, or as a result of some medications. On the EKG, the PR interval is greater than 0.2 seconds, indicating a conduction delay in the AV node. <\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"SecondDegree\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Second-Degree<\/h3>\n<p>\nSecond-degree heart block exists when there is intermittent conduction failure and occurs in two varieties.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Type_I_(Wenckebach)\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Type I (Wenckebach)<\/h4>\n<p>\nIn Wenckebach, the electrical impulses are delayed further and further until conduction fails to reach the ventricles entirely. This is characterized by a PR interval that progressively lengthens until the P wave is not followed by a QRS complex\u2014the QRS has dropped off after the P wave.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Type_II_(Mobitz_II)\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Type II (Mobitz II)<\/h4>\n<p>\nIn this type, some of the electrical impulses are unable to reach the ventricles at all. The non-conducted P waves can&#8217;t get through and may occur at random or in patterned ratios. This is much more serious and may require a pacemaker.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"ThirdDegree\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Third-Degree<\/h3>\n<p>\nThird-degree heart block is a complete heart block in which none of the electrical impulses from the atria reach the ventricles, and the atria and ventricles beat independently. The ventricles may generate some impulses on their own but at a rate much slower than normal.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the patient requires a permanent pacemaker. Here&#8217;s a simple poem to help you remember the types of AV heart blocks. <\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\" style=\"font-size:\" 100%;\">If the R is far from P, then you have a first-degree<br \/>\nLonger, longer, longer drop, then you have a Wenckebach<br \/>\nIf some Ps don&#8217;t get through, then you have Mobitz II<br \/>\nIf Ps and Qs don&#8217;t agree, then you have a third-degree<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spoiler\" id=\"FAQs-spoiler\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-list\">\n<div class=\"qa_wrap\">\n<div class=\"q_item text_bold\">\n<h4 class=\"letter\">Q<\/h4>\n<p style=\"line-height: unset;\">How do I remember the order of blood flow through the heart valves?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"a_item\">\n<h4 class=\"letter text_bold\">A<\/h4>\n<p>Blood flows from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, then on through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery and lungs.
