- PMI: apex heart left 5th intercostal space and mid clavicular line. S1: valve closure, ventricular contraction, lub: (mitral/tricuspid) S2: dub, aortic/pulmonary closure S3: abnormal sound, heart attempt to full a distended ventricle S4: abnormal atria contract to enhance ventricular filling Palpate: aortic area: Right second intercostal space pulmonic area: left second intercostal space 2nd pulmonic area: left 3rd intercostal space tricuspid area: 4/5 intercostal along sternum apical area: left 5th intercostal/midclvicular epigastric: tip sternum
