Fast Heart Rate with Exercise Lesson
The patient was standing during auscultation.
Description
Exercise increases both the heart rate and the intensity of the first heart sound. Systole and diastole have equal duration with a heart rate of 120 BPM.
Conditions such as fever, stress, and hyperthyroidism can also increase the intensity of the first heart sound.
Use the stethoscope's diaphragm to auscultate these sounds.
