Heart Murmurs Made Easy - Aortic and Mitral Heart Murmurs explained - Cardiology - Dr Gill

[@chemaguerra1635]

I'm not even a medical student and I am fascinated by how much I enjoy/learn by following these videos. Thank you Dr. James Gill. :-)

[@DrJamesGill]

Thanks. That’s a big compliment given how difficult I found this one!

[@tjardahope]

Dr Gill you would be a good teacher or speaker at symposium. I have followed quite a few for animals in Utrecht but also had some teachers who are very boring to listen to. which is not the case with you. you explain it well so that it is easy to understand!

[@jayne5971]

I've got a heart murmur, main reason I watched this. You've explained it fair better than any doctor I've seen.

[@DrJamesGill]

Thank you. That does mean a lot. I may not be the sharpest knife in the box, but I like to think I can explain things well 😊

[@alrwai9035]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m a professional cardiologist, and I’m impressed by how you made it so easy to understand. I’m going to use you as a reference for my trainees.

[@mo793]

Thank you. That was very informative. I think explaining the theory in succinct way was really great and that went well. I wonder if it might have been possible to play an audio for these sounds ? Although your simulation was great I think hearing the real sound would also have been great!

Excellent video! Just what I needed to clear murmurs in my head in time for end of year OSCEs next week. Minor correction to offer, where I think you meant mitral stenosis but said mitral regurgitation during the summary segment.

[@charmainesayi]

what i loved most about the video was how informative each of the 4 murmurs was and how we can distinguish them with the sounds you demonstrated. My improvement suggestion is maybe inserting clips of real life sounds of each of these mumurs because as I was watching the video i found myself kept going to check for real life stethescope sounds from other reputable channels on KZbin. But overall you are really doing the Lord's work! We love you

[@cianmilofsky]

Excellent video! Your vocal representations and memory aids really helped me to understand and remember the heart murmurs. The only improvement I could suggest is maybe adding a knowledge check/self test part at the end, e.g. sounding out a murmur and asking us what it is before giving us the answer.

[@DrJamesGill]

Interesting. A knowledge test would be a really simple thing to add - definitely will be included from now on 😊 thanks

[@Supernova-217]

Hi, I absolutely love your videos, I am so glad I came across them, they are legit saving my life. Could you please check one thing, at 26:45 you mention that Valsalva will increase intra thoracic pressure, and increase cardiac output, I find the opposite to be true. Valsalva increases the pressure yes and hence, VALSALVA DECREASES CARDIAC OUTPUT and hence decreases the sound of most murmurs (including MS) and only increases MVP and HCM sounds. Source: NCBI, physiology cardiovascular murmurs, scroll down to Maneuvers >Valsalva. Thank you so much for your work, you are an absolute godsend.

Yes, but caught an error there. Thank you so much. I’ll pin this in the comments. I WIsh we could put text edits on existing videos

Very informative and enjoyable, even for the laymen . As a visual learner also myself, in terms of suggestions that you asked for; perhaps simple graphics( like a chart) at the end, summarising the key points, might also be helpful . This could then be screen shot as a further aide memoir.

[@DrJamesGill]

That’s a good idea. The end point - esp as I could actually create a downloadable pdf 😊

[@jamesprice6940]

What I liked - How you likened the sounds of normal blood flow to that of a car passing by. I find analogies like that really useful! What could be improved - Inserting the sounds of actual heart murmurs would also be beneficial. Thanks for the video, always nice to be able to brush up on some skills and I will be sure to integrate some of the knowledge I have gained into my practice! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@DrJamesGill]

Thanks. Yes I’m going to apply the actual heart sounds in the next cardiology video

[@thomasfraser9072]

Great video! Now being treated for stage 2 CHF causing SOB. I was surprised my cardiologist said she would like to see me a year from now. With known aortic artery dilatation, aortic calcification; and, my frequent complaint of SOB upon minimal exertion I decided to look for another cardiologist who will see me at least every 6 months. Why? Because I feel I need to be monitored more frequently need to know if I should wait for my symptoms to get worse before I undergoing surgery I hope to find one who will have manners as good as yours and will become attuned to my age 77 heart sounds. And that he or she will move their stethoscope around my chest and neck as you described. And finally to listen for these various sounds astutely as you so brilliantly demonstrated. Cheers

[@matsupannoyoyetmeyfrooygi2340]

I was diagnosed with one it is unknown if I still have them. My heart is surely different my doctor said for this it goes beating quick than stops goes back to beating and repeats this process and sounds like some thump and than a low pitch siren from how he said and it had a whooshing noise going on so he figured the heart beat was different, also thanks for helping me learn more about my conditions and disorders you help me learn the meaning behind them and if they are needed for special caring or not. Like the vision tests those help cause I get black confused with purple and blue, or for something what happens a lot is numbers swap places so the higher number is lower and lower is higher, and book pages seem to be crooked. So, thank you, Dr. James Gill.

Excellent lecture,keep it Doc. Learnt alot.

[@philly9375]

"A Simon and Garfunkel murmur" was quite humorous. Certainly do understand the concept of the sound of silence with a murmur. Also, I never knew nor heard of Abraham Lincoln having a suspected murmur. Very excellent lecture and video!

[@DrJamesGill]

My brain works on strange ways

[@luckykatz14]

Isn't the theory that Abraham Lincoln may have had Marfans, Ehlors-Danlos or another connective tissue problem? That could have bearing on a possible heart murmur; those days they didn't know quite what to call it.

[@DrJamesGill]

I’ve heard the Marfans as a possible theory, which would also connect with a mitral regurgitation

Ahhhh my little cardiology researcher brain is geeking out!! This is definitely one of my favourite specialties, although I agree, it's difficult. Ok, what went well: You made many complicated facts seem easy, and maybe this is just me, but I learn SO WELL with mnemonics so thank you for including those! Here's one for you (slightly naughty): Side Effects of Amiodarone (I work for a rhythm guy :)): Bradycardia Interstitial lung disease Thyroid Dysfunction Corneal/cutaneous Hepatic dysfunction What could go better: I honestly had trouble coming up with this one, but I'd say that it would be useful to actually include recordings of the different murmurs compared to a normal S1, S2. Although I have to admit, your sound effects were charming. Keep educating, doc!

[@DrJamesGill]

[@SparkesIsRunning]

Another excellent video: What went well: very good use of mnemonics eg SAD,HAS and CHAPS. Humour is always a winner too. Raptors and Simon & Garfunkel lol. What could be improved: I wonder if simple images of S1 and S2 and where the murmurs sit in the scheme of things might also help visual learners. Like the diamond shape of AS between S1 and S2 in a way helps to visualise the sound. The Brrrr of the pan systolic Mitral regurgitation can be seen in its image. Just a thought definitely not a criticism. Grateful for everything you do Dr Gill. I recommend you to everyone!

I will take any extra ways of remembering cardio facts Dr Gill! Here's hoping I'll be lucky enough to nab the giveaway for my future in med school. I really think you excel with the use of Bob, diagrams and the models which really connects what you say. I think most people are visual learners and benefit from stories rather than facts. What I think you could do better is have some timestamps in your description as I would love to come back to this video and quickly navigate to the spot of interest. I know it's ridiculous to ask this, but as an Anki disciple it would be amazing if you had some cards that corresponded to the video such as the acronym SAD for remembering the causes of aortic stenosis.

You can argue both are equally important, but cardiac auscultation will take a few seconds, so one person can listen, as the others are getting the pads on. You NEED to know if a new onset chest pain is a STEMI
