Norwegian term or phrase: bevart annen hjertetone
This is from an auscultation of the heart:

"Systsolisk bilyd grad 3 med PM over aortaostier, bevart annen hjertetone."

What does bevart mean here please? Is it that the the systolic murmur is masking the second heart sound?

Explanation:
In aortic stenosis, you get a systolic murmur. Sometimes the stenotic valve causes the secon heart sound to be weaker or even silent.

second heart sound audible


Explanation:
In aortic stenosis, you get a systolic murmur. Sometimes the stenotic valve causes the secon heart sound to be weaker or even silent.

Example sentence(s):
  • Because the second heart sound is largely generated by the sudden closing of the aortic valve, a poorly mobile and stenotic aortic valve may cause S2 to become quieter or even absent.
