Question 1

Where is the aortic valve best heard?

Second right intercostal space, along the right sternal border
Second left intercostal space, along the left sternal border
Fourth left intercostal space, along the left sternal border
Fifth intercostal space, in the left mid-clavicular line

Question 2

At which location is the mitral valve best heard?

Fifth intercostal space, in the left mid-clavicular line
Third left intercostal space, along the left sternal border
Second left intercostal space, along the left sternal border
Fourth left intercostal space, along the left sternal border

Question 3

The first heart sound (S1) is caused by closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves.

True
False

Question 4

The second heart sound (S2) is caused by closure of the _______ and pulmonic valves.

Fill in the blank

Question 5

Which cardiac phase follows the second normal heart sound?

Ventricular diastole
Ventricular systole
Atrial systole
Isovolumetric contraction

Question 6

What is the correct description of a grade 4 heart murmur?

Loud with a thrill
Very faint
Moderately loud
Heard with the stethoscope partly off the chest

Question 7

A grade 6 murmur can be heard without a stethoscope, and its thrill is visible.

True
False

Question 8

How does inspiration affect right-sided heart murmurs, except ventricular septal defect and mitral regurgitation?

They increase in intensity because venous return to the right heart increases
They decrease in intensity because venous return to the right heart decreases
They become softer because left-sided filling increases
They shorten and disappear

Question 9

Which murmur lengthens and becomes louder when the patient stands?

Mitral valve prolapse
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Aortic stenosis
Mitral regurgitation

Question 10

How do squatting or passively raising the leg affect most murmurs?

They become louder
They become softer
They decrease in intensity
They disappear

Question 11

During sustained hand grip, which murmur increases in intensity?

Mitral regurgitation
Aortic stenosis
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Mitral valve prolapse

Question 12

During the Valsalva maneuver, the systolic murmur of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy becomes louder.

True
False

Question 13

At the apex, with the patient supine and using the bell of the stethoscope, a split S1 is heard. What is the finding?

Split S1
S3 gallop
Mid-systolic click
Holosystolic murmur

Question 14

An S4 heart sound heard at the apex in the left lateral decubitus position with the bell suggests left ventricular hypertrophy.

True
False

Question 15

Which finding is characteristic of mitral valve prolapse when heard at the apex with the patient supine using the bell of the stethoscope?

Mid-systolic click
Early systolic murmur
Holosystolic murmur
S3 gallop

Question 16

An S3 gallop heard at the apex in the left lateral decubitus position with the bell can indicate which of the following?

Left ventricular systolic failure such as ischemic cardiomyopathy
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Mitral valve prolapse
Acute mitral regurgitation

Question 17

An early systolic murmur heard at the apex with the patient supine using the bell of the stethoscope suggests acute ______.

Fill in the blank

Question 18

A mid-systolic murmur at the apex with the patient supine using the bell of the stethoscope is associated with mitral regurgitation due to what condition?

Coronary artery disease
Mitral valve prolapse
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Ventricular septal defect

Question 19

A late systolic murmur heard at the apex with the patient supine using the bell of the stethoscope suggests mitral regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse.

True
False

Question 20

A holosystolic murmur heard at the apex with the patient supine using the bell of the stethoscope is classic for which condition?

Mitral regurgitation
Aortic stenosis
Mitral stenosis
Ventricular septal defect

Question 21

If a holosystolic murmur is heard along the left sternal border rather than the apex, which condition should be considered?

Ventricular septal defect
Mitral valve prolapse
Acute mitral regurgitation
Left ventricular hypertrophy

Question 22

A systolic click with a late systolic murmur heard at the apex in the left lateral decubitus position using the bell of the stethoscope indicates mitral valve prolapse with ______.

Fill in the blank

Question 23

What combination of findings at the apex in the left lateral decubitus position with the bell suggests ischemic cardiomyopathy with mitral regurgitation?

S4 and mid-systolic murmur
S3 and holosystolic murmur
Mid-systolic click and late systolic murmur
Split S1 and early systolic murmur

Question 24

An S4 heart sound at the apex in the left lateral decubitus position with the bell is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy.

True
False
