What imaging can be performed to evaluate for AAA? (2) - ANSWER: US
Echo

What do you palpate for with your finger pads? - ANSWER: Pulsations

What do you palpate for with your MCPs? - ANSWER: Thrills

What murmurs are thrills associated with? (3) - ANSWER: AS
PDA
VSD

Locations for palpation (4) - ANSWER: Aortic area
Pulmonic area
Right ventricular
Left ventricular

and hits the chest wall

Location of apical impulse - ANSWER: 5th ICS, MCL, 7-9 cm from MSl

Hyperthyroidism
Severe anemia

Cardiac hypertrophy - ANSWER: Increased thickness of wall

PE findings for cardiac hypertrophy (2) - ANSWER: Stronger impulse in the right location
Increased amplitude

Cardiac dilation - ANSWER: Expansion of the chamber size

PE findings for cardiac dilation - ANSWER: Impulse located more laterally and may be weaker

What does pregnancy cause in the heart? - ANSWER: Elevated apical impulse

What does COPD cause in the heart and why? - ANSWER: Vertical heart because it is tethered to the

What valves close during S2? - ANSWER: Aortic and pulmonic

Where does the blood travel during S2? - ANSWER: Atrium to the ventricles
