A patient has a heart murmur that occurs after the first heart sound. Given the fact that the problem is on the right side of the heart, explain in detail a possible cause of the murmur in terms of the events of the cardiac cycle.
Ans- As murmur is heard after 1st heart sound so it is a systolic murmur.
And as it is given in the que problem is on the right side of heart so
Causes of right side systolic murmur:-
pulmonary valve stenosis
given the question the Murmur is heard after first heart sound first heart sound is produce after the closer of bicuspid and tricuspid valve. We have seen in the above explanation that Murmur is produced when blood flow through orifice is turbulent so after first heart sound the blood is going through Pulmonary artery and arota show the defect should be in Pulmonary artery because it is present on right side
