You are incorrect - our patient's acoustic event(s) at the time of the first heart sound is a split S1.


Your choice: S1 + systolic click (SC)

This is a graphic example of an S1 followed by a systolic click (SC).

Systolic clicks typically occur in mid-to-late systole, but may be heard in early systole. They are high frequency sounds that are almost always due to tricuspid or mitral valve prolapse and are best heard in these auscultatoy areas.
