Question

Heart murmurs caused by a stenotic mitral valve ______. Choose the correct answer: A) are heard as a high-pitched click when the valve should be—but is not—wide open during systole. B) are detected due to the turbulent blood flow that occurs as blood backflows into the left atrium. C) are detected if the valve's cusps are thin and flexible. D) All of the listed responses are true.

Korotkoff sounds indicate: A. Regurgitation from the ventricle into the atrium through a faulty mitral valve. B. Backflow through the tricuspid valve. C. Turbulence in a malformed aortic arch. D. Systolic and diastolic viscosity. E. Opening and closing of an artery.

Which of the following statements about the heart is false? a. The mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium. b. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. c. Both the aortic and the pulmonary valves are semilunar valves. d. The mitral valve is an atrioventricular valve.

00:02 So we can represent heart murmur as hm here.
00:08 So hmm.
00:09 So hmm .r.
00:10 Now this is the sound that is heard like a blowing sound or a woozing sound.
00:18 This sound is usually heard as an abnormal sound.
00:22 Now why does heart murmur occur? heart mormer is a sound which is heard when the blood flow is written as bfo.
00:31 So the blood flow into the left ventricle, which is written as lv here, is been reduced.
00:40 So when the blood flow to the left ventricle is reduced, a heart murmur or an abnormal woozing sound has been heard.
00:48 As compared to the normal flow, the blood flow to the left ventricular in the situation of heart murmur is reduced.
00:56 Now this particularly happens due to a particular reason.
01:01 Let us go through each of the options.
01:04 Option a, option c, option c and option d.
01:12 Particularly going through option a, what we see is that this cannot be the correct answer because the question states that the heart murmur has occurred because of the stenotic mitral wall.
01:32 We write it as mv here.
01:33 So the reason for the heart murmur.
01:35 Is stinotic mitral valve.
01:37 What do you mean by stinotic? stenotic is the condition wherein the mitral wall is narrowed...
