How do you tell the difference between an ejection click or a loud S1/S2? The videos sound nearly identical to me.
Hi Ashley – The ejection click is an extra transient sound that occurs near S1. So you’d hear two sounds close together (S1 + ejection click) followed by the S2 (three sounds total). It is on the differential for extra sounds near S1, along with split S1 and S4. A loud S1 or S2 on the other hand will be a single sound that is just louder than normal. Having said that, some patients might have a loud S1 or S2 AND an ejection click.
Does that make sense?
