The most fundamental heart sounds are the first and second sounds, usually abbreviated as S1 and S2. S1 is caused by closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves at the beginning of isovolumetric ventricular contraction S1 is normally slightly split (~0.04 sec) because mitral valve closure precedes tricuspid valve closure; however, this very short time interval cannot normally be heard with the stethoscope and hence only a single sound is perceived. S2 is caused by closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves at the beginning of isovolumetric ventricular relaxation
