Basic Heart Examination Inspection Palpation Perdussion Auscultation 15
Inspection of the Heart • Precordium 心前区外形 • Normal apical impulse 正常心尖搏动 • Abnormal apical impulse 异常心尖搏动 • Precordial abnormal impulse 心前区异常搏动
16
Precordium - Inspection • Scars – Median sternotomy • CABG • Valve replacement
– Lateral thoracotomy – Infraclavicular (pacemaker)
• Pectus excavatum • Pacemaker box
Sternotomy scar
Pectus excavatum
• Apex beat 17
Precordium • Precordial bulge – Features: bony bulge 骨骼突起 – Clinical importance: Congenital heart disease with ventricular enlargement
18
Normal Apical Impulse • Location : 0.5 ~ 1 cm to the left midclavicular line at the 5th ICS outside LSB. • Range:2~2.5cm • Direction: outward when ventricular systole begins 19
Abnormal Apical Impulse • Abnormal location – Physical: posture, pregnancy, etc. – Heart diseases • L.V enlargement: inferior left • R.V enlargement: left • B.V enlargement: inferior left
– Chest and abdominal diseases 20
Abnormal Apical Impulse • Abnormal range or intensity – Increased intensity: LV hypertrophy, hyperthyroidism, fever, anemia, etc. – Decreased—myocardial diseases, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion of left thorax or left-side pneumothorax, emphysema.
• Abnormal direction – Inward impulse—adhesive pericarditis.
21
Precordial Abnormal Impulse • 2nd ICS, LSB——Pulmonary hypertension, youth • 2nd ICS, RSB——Aneurysm of ascending aorta 升主 动脉瘤 • 3rd, 4th ICS, LSB—R.V hypertrophy • xiphoid process——R.V hypertrophy, abdominal aneurysm 腹主动脉瘤

24
Apical Impulse Clinical significance: signifying the start of the systolic phase Location and range: same as in inspection Increased (heave): Cause : left ventricular pressure overload and consequent hypertrophy Character : forceful and sustained Clinical significance : left ventricular hypertrophy 25
Decreased – Causes: decreased contractibility of the myocardium – Clinical
significance:
heart
failure,
pericardial effusion, myocarditis
26
Pericardial Friction Fremitus – Mechanism: inflammation or irritation of the pericardium 心包表面粗糙 – Typical site: 4th ICS, LSB – Features: It is best palpated with the person sitting up and leaning forward, and with the breath held in expiration – Clinical significance: pericarditis 心包炎
27
Thrill – Mechanism: formation of bloodflow vortices caused by valve stenosis or abnormal pathway. – Types: systole, diastole, continuous – Clinical significance: reliable signs of organic heart diseases
28
Thrill in Systole • 2nd ICS, LSB: Pulmonic stenosis • 2nd ICS, RSB: Aortic stenosis • 3rd, 4th ICS, LSB: Interventricular septal defect
29
Thrill in Diastole – Apex: mitral stenosis
Continuous thrill – 2nd ICS, arteriosus
LSB—
Patent
ductus
30
Percussion of the Heart Border • Technique – Force: light percussion for the relative dullness border of the heart – Position • Supine • Sitting
– Steps • From left to right, lower to upper, outward to inward • Left border: 2~3cm from the apical impulse • Right border: ICS next to the upper border of the liver • Measure: the distance from dullness border to anterior midline

Abnormal Dullness Heart Border • Boot-shaped heart: L.V enlargement • Pear-shaped heart: L.A enlargement • General enlarged heart: B.V enlargement • Flask-shaped heart: pericardial effusion • “Shrinked” dullness border: emphysema • Dullness border undetectable: pleural effusion or lung consolidation 33
Boot-shaped Heart – Mechanism: L.V enlargement – Features: the left border extends to the inferior left, waist of the heart is deepened. – Causes: • Aortic insufficiency • hypertensive heart disease 34
35
Pear-shaped Heart • Mechanism: L.A enlargement and distension of pulmonary artery • Features: dullness heart border in the 2nd , 3rd ICS on the LSB extends outside, waist of the heart bulges out • Causes: mitral stenosis 二尖瓣狭窄 36
37
General Enlarged Heart both left • Mechanism: ventricle are enlarged
and
right
• Features: the dullness border extends to both sides, the left border extends to inferior left • Causes: cardiomyopathy, whole heart failure
myocarditis,

Flask-shaped Heart • Mechanism: pericardial effusion • Features: – Sitting border

Auscultation of the heart
Areas for auscultation and sequence to auscultate 40
Content of Heart Auscultation • Heart rate: 60~100/min normally • Rhythm: regular or sinus arrhythmia • Heart sounds: normal, abnormal, • Heart murmurs • Pericardial friction rub 41
