What's really happening in a PVC? 🤔 Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) are early, abnormal electrical signals from the ventricles that disrupt the heart’s normal rhythm. While they’re actually extra beats, they often feel like a skipped beat—why? A PVC comes early before the heart has time to fill with blood, creating a weak pulse that’s barely felt. The next beat, after extra filling time, is stronger, leading to that noticeable ‘thump’ in the chest. Most PVCs are harmless, but frequent

Understanding Heart Sounds! As doctors, mastering auscultation is key to early diagnosis. Let's quickly review the normal and abnormal heart sounds: S1 (Lub): Marks the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves, signifying the start of systole. S2 (Dub): Marks the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves, signifying the start of diastole. 🚨 Now, for the pathological ones: S3 (Ventricular Gallop): In adults, often a sign of left ventricular failure, caused by rapid ventricular filling in earl
