1. T.V.'s physician heard a "shshshsh" sound upon auscultation without a clear S1 or S2. From the location of maximal intensity, she determined the sound to be caused by mitral valve regurgitation. What produces the "shshsh" sound? How would mitral valve prolapse affect blood flow through the heart? How would this affect cardiac output? 2. What happens if there is a hole in the interventricular septum? How would this affect cardiac output? 3. What are the consequences of valvular and septal defects on the body? 4. G.M. was diagnosed with aortic stenosis. How does this condition affect blood flow through the heart? How will this condition affect cardiac output? What will the heart do to compensate for the change in cardiac output? What can happen to the heart if it is overworked? 1.
