PHONOCARDIOGRAPHY
(PCG)

PCG

 Graphic record heart sound - Phonogram.


 Recording the sounds connected with the pumping action of heart.
 Sound from heart – phonocardiogram
 Instrument to measure this – phonocardiograph
 Basic function – to pick up the different heart sound,filter the required and
display.
 Two categories –
 heart sound – transient characteristics with short duration.(closing and
opening of valves)
 murmurs – noisy characteristics with long duration.(turbulent blood flow in
heart)

 Microphones for PCG:


 Crystal microphone – contains wafer of piezo-electric material, which
generates potentials when subjected to mechanical stresses due to heart
sound. Smaller in size, high sensitivity.
 Dynamic microphone – consists of a moving coil having a fixed magnetic core
inside it. The coil moves with the heart sound and produce a voltage because
of interaction with the magnetic flux.
 New acoustic sensors – polymer based adherent differential-output sensors.

Heart Sounds

 S1 – onset of the ventricular contraction


 S2 – closure of the semilunar valves
 S3 – ventricular gallop
 S4 – atrial gallop
 Other – opening snap, ejection sound
 Murmurs
