Normally, mitral valve closure (M1) occurs slightly before tricuspid valve closure (T1), but the split is usually because the two components are <30 ms apart. In right bundle branch block (RBBB) or Ebstein anomaly , T1 is delayed, making a widened, audible split of S1 . It is a real-time status report on one
