The oldest client is at more risk for heart failure. A third heart sound is caused by a sudden reduction in the speed of blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. It is said to be a normal phenomenon for young people and athletes but in older people who do not exercise, it indicates a congestive heart failure.
