Exercise and Cardiovascular Health Consult with primary care
provider prior to starting an exercise program
Avoid strenuous activity in extremes of temperature or after a heavy meal
Immediately stop exercise if chest pain, dizziness, faintness, light-headedness occur

Assessment Equipment
Stethoscope Sphygmomanometer Watch with second hand Tape measure
Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Inspection Aortic Pulmonic Midprecordial Tricuspid Mitral Normal findings: no visible
pulsations except for the PMI in the mitral area
Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Palpation Assess for pulsations, thrills, heaves Assess the following areas: aortic,
pulmonic, midprecordial, tricuspid, and mitral
Normal findings No pulsations, thrills, or heaves palpated,
except in the mitral area where the apical impulse may be palpated

Auscultation How?
Patient position Use diaphragm and bell of
stethoscope Where?
Aortic, pulmonic, midprecordial, tricuspid, mitral
Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Auscultation: Normal Findings Aortic: S2 is louder than S1
Pulmonic: S2 is louder than S1
Tricuspid: S1 is louder than S2
Mitral: S1 is louder than S2
Mitral and tricuspid: S3 (gallop) may be heard in children, young adults, and pregnant women. S4 may indicate cardiac decompensation
Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Auscultation: Abnormal Findings Murmurs
Possible causes Characteristics: location, timing,
radiation, intensity, quality, pitch, configuration
Use stethoscope diaphragm over aortic, pulmonic, mitral, and tricuspid areas
Use stethoscope bell over mitral and tricuspid areas
Normal findings: no murmurs auscultated

Auscultation:Abnormal Findings Pericardial friction rub
Possible cause Characteristics: location, timing,
radiation, quality, pitch Patient position Location Abnormal finding

Assessment of Arterial Pulses Evaluate temporal, carotid,
brachial, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis
How? Patient position Characteristics: rate, rhythm,
amplitude, symmetry

Assessment of Arterial Pulses Auscultate temporal, carotid,
femoral pulses for bruits Normal findings Abnormal findings Pathophysiological indications:
obstruction due to atherosclerotic plaques, high output states such as anemia or thyrotoxicosis
Copyright 2002, Delmar, A division of Thomson Learning
Special Techniques Orthostatic hypotension
How? Patient position Normal findings Abnormal findings Pathophysiological indications:
hypovolemic, neurogenic dysfunction, or side effect from medications

Assessment of Peripheral Perfusion Evaluate peripheral pulses, color,
clubbing, capillary refill, skin temperature, edema, ulcerations, hair distribution
Venous system Homan’s sign
Arterial Pallor Allen’s test
