1 -- S3 is an abnormal (pathologic) heart sound heard immediately following S2 in adults. It is often called a ventricular gallop and results from conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), mitral, or tricuspid valve regurgitation. S4 immediately precedes S1 and can result from conditions such as anemia or a change in ventricular compliance.
