In this video I help you understand heart murmurs and heart sound using a simple explanation with illustrations and animations. We cover the heart sounds S1, S2, S3 and S4, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. We also discuss the features of murmurs, grades of murmurs and how dilatation and hypertrophy are linked to valve pathology.

Special thanks to www.thinklabs.com for allowing me to use with permission the heart sounds recorded on a Thinklabs Digital Stethoscope and available at:

    This is the best video on murmurs I have seen so far. Thanks so much
  • As a newly qualified paramedic this video is amazing! We brushed over heart sounds at uni as told they were a "nice to know" rather than a need to know. This has really helped me get my head around what normal should sound like and what abnormal actually means. Thank you so much!!

    As an intensive care nurse I'm constantly checking the heart and lungs and I found this information very helpful I'm going to listen to it over and over again until I have it nailed down but thank you for taking the time to enlighten me you've made a sacrifice for me and I am going to be forever thankful and my patients will get better

  • @nikiluvsyou
    I grasp more of the information from watching your video than i did watching others, because you didn't rush through the explanation, so it gave me time to process the information in my head. I also appreciate that you replayed the sounds a second time.
  • @funmiade575
    Amazing video! Thanks. I got to listen to the murmurs, and I found that really interesting. Hopefully, when I get back on the ward, I would practice more until I am able to effortlessly identify each murmur.
  • @proceedingg3502
