Physiologically Split Second Heart Sound Lesson
The patient was supine during auscultation.
Description
Timing between the aortic and pulmonic components of the second heart sound varies during normal respiration. This causes splitting of the second heart sound.
Maximum splitting occurs at peak inspiration. In this recording, the S2 split is 60 milliseconds at peak inspiration with no splitting at peak expiration.
