[Heart Murmurs--what must the family physician know?]
Abstract:
Cardiac auscultation follows a set procedure and begins on the supine patient. If necessary, certain exercises (inspiration/expiration, Valsalva manoeuvre, squats) can be performed to facilitate the aetiological classification of a heart murmur. Functional and pathological heart murmurs must be differentiated. Factors to be considered in the evaluation of murmurs are loudness, phase of the cycle (systole/diastole), localization, character and radiation of the sound and also the state of health, age and sex of the patient.

S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V) valves at the...
