  • Heart Murmurs
    HEART MURMURS PART I BY WILLIAM EVANS From the Cardiac Department of the London Hospital Received November 5, 1946 Auscultation of the heart, depending as it does on the acuity of the auditory sense and providing information commensurate with the observer's experience, cannot always determine unequivocally the various sound effects that may take place during systole and diastole. It is not surprising, therefore, that auscultation tied to traditional theories may sometimes lead to a wrong interpretation of the condition, although a judgment born of ripe experience in clinical medicine and pathology will avoid serious mistakes. It is more than fortuitous that modern auscultation has grown on such a secure foundation, but it is imperative that for the solution of outstanding problems there should be precise means of registering heart sounds. This is why a phonocardiogram was included in the examination of a series of patients pre- senting murmurs. As each patient attended for the test, the signs elicited on clinical auscultation were first noted and an opinion was formed on their significance. Cardioscopy was invariably carried out, and, when necessary, teleradiograms were taken. Limb and chest lead electrocardiograms were frequently recorded in addition to the lead selected as a control for the phonocardiogram. Many cases came to necropsy. The simultaneous electrocardiogram and sound record was taken by a double string galvanometer supplied by the Cambridge Instrument Company, and the length of the connecting tube leading from the chest to the amplifier was 46 cm. Although the amplitude of sounds and murmurs was matched against each other in individual patients, there was no attempt to standardize the intensity of murmurs in terms of amplitude in different patients; in fact it was varied deliberately in order to produce such excursion of the recording fibre as would best show the murmur.

  • Case Reports
    Case Reports Quadrivalvular Heart Disease An Autopsied Case with Massive Pulmonary Regurgitation Tsuguya SAKAMOTO, M.D., Zen'ichiro UOZUMI, M.D., Nobuyoshi KAWAI, M.D., Yoshiyuki SAKAMOTO, M.D., Ryoko KATO, M.D., and Hideo UEDA, M.D. SUMMARY An autopsied case of quadrivalvular heart disease was described, in which pulmonary regurgitation due to possible bicuspid valve was pre- dominant and tricuspid stenosis, mitral stenosis, and aortic stenosis with insufficiency coexisted. The patient was 47, and finally 53 years old female with long-term history of cough due to bronchial compression by the enormously dilated pulmonary artery. Clinical examination revealed massive pulmonary regurgitation, which was further substantiated by right heart catheterization and cineangiocardiography. The phono- cardiograms and the reference tracings suggested the co-existence of tricuspid stenosis, aortic stenosis with regurgitation and mitral stenosis. Cardiac catheterization, intracardiac phonocardiography and angio- cardiography also favored to the diagnosis of organic tricuspid stenosis. However, the ignorance of the presence of such an unusual combination misled to the precise antemortem diagnosis. Discussion was made on the rarity of quadrivalvular heart disease, and the pathogenesis of this unusual pulmonary regurgitation was analyzed based on the autopsy finding and the history as well as the clinical mani- festation. Finally, combination of the murmurs of organic and relative tricuspid stenosis was presented to explain the acoustical findings of the present case.

  • Viding Diagnostic Insights Into the Pathophysiologic Mechanisms
    viding diagnostic insights into the pathophysiologic mechanisms under- lying the acoustic findings heard in clinical practice.162-165 Contemporary physicians should take advantage of the valuable clinical information that can be obtained by such an inexpensive instrument and expedient and reli- able tool as the stethoscope. The following section reviews the funda- mental technique of cardiac auscultation, emphasizing the diagnostic value and practical clinical applications of this time-honored (but endan- gered) art in this time of need.166 The Art and Technique of Cardiac Auscultation. Auscultation of the heart and vascular system is one of the most challenging and rewarding clinical diagnostic skills that can (and should) be learned and applied by every prac- ticing physician. Proficiency in cardiac auscultation requires experience, repeated practice, and a great deal of patience (and patients). Most impor- tantly, it requires a proper state of mind. (“we hear what we listen for”). Although the most vital component of the auscultatory apparatus lies between the earpieces, the proper use of a well-designed, efficient stetho- scope cannot be overemphasized. To ensure optimal sound transmission, the well-crafted stethoscope should be airtight, with snug but comfortably-fit- ting earpieces, properly aligned metal binaurals, and flexible, double-barrel, 1 thick-walled tubing, ⁄8 inch in internal diameter and no more than 12 to 15 inches in length. A high-quality stethoscope should be equipped with both bell and diaphragm chest pieces. The bell, when applied gently to the skin, will “bring out” low frequency sounds and murmurs (eg, faint S4 or S3 gal- lop or diastolic rumble) and the diaphragm, when pressed firmly against the skin, will accentuate high-pitched acoustic events (eg, diastolic blowing murmur of AR).

    Ch02.qxd 7/5/04 3:06 PM Page 13 Cardiology 2 FETAL CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY The ‘basic science’ nature of this topic – as well as the potential pathological implications in paediatric cardiology – makes it a likely viva question. Oxygenated blood from the placenta returns to the fetus via the umbilical vein (of which there is only one). Fifty per cent traverses the liver and the remaining 50% bypasses the liver via the ductus venosus into the inferior vena cava. In the right atrium blood arriving from the upper body from the superior vena cava (low oxygen saturation) preferentially crosses the tricus- pid valve into the right ventricle and then via the ductus flows into the descending aorta and back to the placenta via the umbilical arteries (two) to reoxygenate. The relatively oxygenated blood from the inferior vena cava, however, preferentially crosses the foramen ovale into the left atrium and left ventricle to be distributed to the upper body (including the brain and coro- nary circulation). Because of this pattern of flow in the right atrium we have highly oxygenated blood reaching the brain and deoxygenated blood reach- ing the placenta. High pulmonary arteriolar pressure ensures that most blood traverses the pulmonary artery via the ductus. Changes at birth 1. Occlusion of the umbilical cord removes the low-resistance capillary bed from the circulation. 2. Breathing results in a marked decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance. 3. In consequence, there is increased pulmonary blood flow returning to the left atrium causing the foramen ovale to close. 4. Well-oxygenated blood from the lungs and the loss of endogenous prostaglandins from the placenta result in closure of the ductus arteriosus.
