  Feedback
1 The S3 gallop rhythm is not indicative of atrial fibrillation.
2 The S3 gallop rhythm is a sign of congestive heart failure (CHF). It relates to hemodynamic filling of a failing, noncompliant ventricle.
3 The S3 gallop rhythm is not indicative of ventricular tachycardia.
4 The S3 gallop rhythm is not indicative of atrial septal defect.

  Feedback
1 Murmurs can be caused by increased blood volume.
2 Murmurs can be caused by constricted blood vessels.
3 Murmurs can be caused by flow from a constricted blood vessel to a dilated blood vessel.
4 Murmurs are defined as a series of audible, prolonged sounds resulting from turbulence created within the vascular system. Causes of turbulent flow include increased flow through normal blood vessels creating frictional, audible sounds; flow through constricted blood vessels (as in aortic stenosis); flow into a dilated blood vessel from one of normal size; or a combination of these.
