splitting of heart sounds (medicine) and piner(1) (iou)


splitting of heart sounds (medicine)


splitting of heart sounds


The production of major components of the first and second heart sounds (rarely the third and fourth) due to contribution by the left-sided and right-sided valves; thus, the first heart sound would have a mitral and a tricuspid component and the second heart sound has an aortic and pulmonic component. The latter are best appreciated during respiration, with inspiration delaying the pulmonic component and producing an earlier aortic component.

piner noun1. OE.
[from PINE verb + -ER1.]

A person who or thing which pines; spec. an animal suffering from a wasting disease. E17.
