How bad or serious is a split s2 (racepinephrine) sound? should i be worried?

Normal variation: I actually look for this during regular exams.It is often not detected in earlier childhood but finally loud enough to be heard by the teen years. It signifies a small difference in the closing time of the valves. If it is widely split and does not vary with breathing it can point to a problem, but in most it is a normal finding.

Normal: It is not bad. It is common and a normal finding in an otherwise young healthy person.
