Texas Heart Institute Heart Sounds Series

This series from the Texas Heart Institute at St. Lukes Episcopal Hospital Robert J. Hall Heart Sounds Laboratory presents auscultation of various heart sounds as they relate to the anatomy, physiology, and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. The podcasts are developed for physicians, medical residents, nurses, and other clinicians who wish to improve auscultation skills. More information that further demonstrates the physiology of the heart sounds is provided for some podcasts. Use headphones for best audio quality.

    Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Congenital

    Auscultation of the murmur of congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD). Copyright 2011 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  2. 20

    Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM)

    Auscultation of murmurs associated with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and LV outlet obstruction. Copyright 2011 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  3. 19

    Tumor Plop (Left Atrial Myxoma)

    Auscultation of a diastolic sound referred to as tumor plop, resulting from a left atrial myxoma. The sound arises from obstruction to ventricular in-flow. Copyright 2011 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  4. 18

    Pericardial Knock (Constrictive Pericarditis)

    The early diastolic sound of pericardial constriction occurs slightly earlier than the average third heart sound. Its frequency is somewhat higher, allowing you to hear it throughout the precordium using the diaphragm and the bell. Common causes of pericardial constriction include prior cardiac surgery and uremic pericarditis. Copyright 2011 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  5. 17

    Fixed Splitting of the Second Sound (ASD)

    Auscultation of the fixed splitting of the second heart sound, a finding on physical examination very specific for atrial septal defect. Copyright 2010 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  6. 16

    Wide Splitting of the Second Heart Sound (RBBB)

    Auscultation of the wide splitting of the second heart sound, commonly caused by right bundle branch block (RBBB). Copyright 2010 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  7. 15

    Paradoxical Splitting of the Second Heart Sound

    Auscultation of paradoxical splitting of the second sound, opposite of the normal or physiological finding. Copyright 2010 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  8. 14

    Physiological Splitting of the Second Heart Sound

    Auscultation of physiological splitting of the second heart sound. Copyright 2010 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  9. 13

    Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency

    Auscultation of tricuspid insufficiency and its resulting regurgitation. Copyright 2010 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  10. 12

    Fourth Heart Sound (S4)

    This podcast presents auscultation of the fourth heart sound (S4). Copyright 2010 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  11. 11

    Third Heart Sound (S3)

    This podcast presents auscultation of the third heart sound (s3). Copyright 2009 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

    Opening Snap of Mitral Valve Stenosis

    This podcast presents auscultation of opening snap of mitral valve stenosis. Copyright 2009 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

    Mitral Valve Stenosis

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of mitral valve stenosis. Copyright 2009 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  14. 8

    Flail Mitral Regurgitation

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of acute mitral regurgitation due to flail posterior leaflet. Copyright 2009 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  15. 7

    Mitral Regurgitation

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of mitral regurgitation. Copyright 2009 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  16. 6

    Austin Flint

    Texas Heart Institute presents the Austin Flint murmur (rumble) of aortic insufficiency. Copyright 2009 by the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

  17. 5

    Aortic Valve Insufficiency

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of chronic severe aortic valve insufficiency and its decrescendo murmur. Copyright 2009 Texas Heart Institute.

  18. 4

    Aortic Stenosis

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of the heart sounds associated with aortic stenosis. Copyright 2009 Texas Heart Institute.

  19. 3

    Pulmonary Valve Ejection Sound

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of the heart sounds associated with pulmonary valve ejection. An ejection sound is the audible component of achieving peak ejection blood flow velocity. Copyright 2009 Texas Heart Institute.

  20. 2

    Aortic Valve Ejection Sound

    Texas Heart Institute presents auscultation of the heart sounds associated with aortic valve ejection. An ejection sound is the audible component of achieving peak ejection blood flow velocity. Copyright 2009 Texas Heart Institute.

  21. 1

    Midsystolic Click - Mitral Valve Prolapse

    An examination of the heart sounds associated with midsystolic click. Midsystolic click is virtually synonymous with prolapse of the mitral valve toward the left atrium during systole.
