Talk:Heart sounds

message: I think you should quote the original textbook from Samuel Levine who "invented" the scale.

thread_title: quotation for gradation

message: Hey, very usefull article, and I'm only a high school biology student so i felt weird editing this but it said "Yet even those these"  and i changed it to "Yet, even though these" becuase it was the obvious intended meaning.

message: Would be useful to include a discussion about S3 and S4 heart sounds.
:S3 is the sound of blood rushing into the ventricles during ventricular diastole, and S4 is the turbulence created during atrial systole.  Both typically need to be recorded and possibly enchanced to discern specific diseases within the heart using the S3 and S4 heart sounds.  Can anyone out there make that substantial enough to be encyclopedic?--Ryan! 04:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "soft murmurs are less likely to reflect a serious, if any, health problem; loud murmurs essentially always reflect a problem"
Can someone confirm this statement, I've always been taught otherwise. I was under the impression loudness gave no indication of the severity of the problem. 220.245.161.190 13:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think it would be helpful to have a section in here about doctors' notation, e.g. my notes say HS 1+2+0 which refers to heart sounds but am not entirely sure what this means.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.63.133 (talk) 17:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notation 

message: Currently S3 and S4 are covered fairly extensively in two different articles,  as a subsection of this heart sounds article and more extensively in gallop rhythm. They should be consolidated somehow, including these options:
# Split this info into separate articles for S3 (heart sound) and S4 (heart sound)
# Merge the gallop rhythm into this page
# Merge this page's subsection into gallop rhythm
Being somewhat of a separatist, I vote for (1), but I wanted to open it up to some debate before jumping in. Please opine. - Draeco (talk) 05:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Support. But currently the article on S3 just redirects to the S3 portion of heart sounds article. Mikr18 (talk) 08:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Done - Third heart sound and Fourth heart sound articles have been created with all redirects fixed. Gallop rhythm remains as basically a cursory overview of s3, s4, and combinations thereof. Heart sounds retains an abbreviated mention of s3 and s4 with links. - Draeco (talk) 18:04, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I would like to see all the auscultation points mentioned, including alternate names for them. I have had trouble finding information about the "punctum quintum", known in German as the "Erb-Punkt" (one of two meanings of this term): "Schließlich wird auch ein Auskultationspunkt über dem Herzen (dritter Interkostalraum zwei Fingerbreit links vom Brustbein) so genannt. Dort sind alle Herztöne und mögliche Herzgeräusche gemeinsam hörbar." "... an auscultation point over the heart (third intercostal space two fingers to the left of the sternum) ... all heart sounds and possible noises can be heard together there (Pschyrembel Klinisches Woerterbuch 259th edn.).

message: This is a bit odd but im trying to word it correctly. I have a sensory processing disorder, one that targets my sense of touch for the most part. But this extreme combinations plus a mitral valve prolapse and the resultant panic attacks has actually made it so i can feel, ongoing in my chest, the different segments of a heartbeat.
This is monumentally disturbing because if i try to describe it no one knows whati m talking about. Like, having to sleep on my right side because i feel the secondary parts as a small push up and down when on my left side, exaggerated to where it feels like it could be moving me. (It isnt.) This is true of the big artery thingies that are near your collar bone and go into arms, but thats much more rare for me to experience.
Would this be a good area to discuss things like this? Because if you don't know whats going on when it happens, it's probably going to utterly terrify you. I was thinking, something like a chart or diagram showing where the different pressures are nearest to and how they work with the other parts, maybe a .gif or something done based on average resting rate. I have no art skills, or MSpaint skills, so cant do so myself. Also can't time it myself, as paying that much attention to my heart triggers minor mitral valve twinges, which make me nervous which... well you see where this is going im sure. 74.128.56.194 (talk) 10:46, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aware Sensation 

message: This article could use a lot more citations, a lot of statements about the origins of the sounds that I don't trust (like the chordae tendinae in the S3 section, as mentioned earlier). (Olipals (talk) 01:21, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations

message: The discussion of S1 has me a little confused. Near the start of the paragraph it states, “ Normally M1 precedes T1slightly” yet toward the end of the paragraph it states, “ If T1 occurs slightly after M1, then the patient likely has a dysfunction of conduction of the right side of the heart such as a right bundle branch block.”
“if T1 occurs after M1” is surely the same as “M1 preceeds T1” and yet this is both normal and indicative of pathology?
Could someone wiser than me elaborate or correct?

message: For some reason, on this page the usual "[ edit ]" links that you get to the right of each section heading aren't formatting themselves normally. I don't know what's causing it, as when you edit and do a preview, the edit links no longer show up!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.42.129.104 (talk) 22:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
