Click (medicine)


click


A slight sharp sound.

Ejection click, a clicking ejection sound.

See: sound.

Mitral click, the opening snap of the mitral valve.

Systolic click, a sharp, clicking sound heard during cardiac systole; when heard in early systole it is usually an ejection sound; in late systole the click usually signifies mitral insufficiency, as in the dysfunction of the mitral valvular apparatus when it prolapses into the left atrium during systole (see Barlow syndrome); rarely may also be due to pleuropericardial adhesions or other extracardiac mechanisms.
