Abstract:
Pulmonary stenosis can occur as an isolated valvular lesion associated with congenital structural cardiac anomalies. Rarely, patients may develop an acquired form of pulmonary stenosis. We report a case of a rare presentation of anterior mediastinal teratoma mimicking congenital valvular heart disease, with complete resolution of her symptoms postoperatively.

Cardiovascular System Abnormal Findings II: Auscultation
Abnormal Heart Sounds
Gallops:
Heart Sounds
Auscultation is the process of listening to these internal body sounds using a stethoscope. The heart produces four types of sounds, but only two—S1 and S2—can usually be heard with a stethoscope.
S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V)...
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System IV: Auscultation
Normal Heart Sounds
S1 (First Heart Sound)-
S1 is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular valves), marking the beginning of systole.
S2 (Second Heart Sound)-
S2 is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar valves), marking the end of the systole.

Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:

Abnormal findings observed during an inspection
Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
