ALTHOUGH Fauvel, 1 in 1843, attributed the apical presystolic murmur to stenosis of the mitral valve, Duroziez's 2 description — "ffout-tata-rou" — in 1862 has been considered as the classic ...
An S4 heart sound cannot be present during atrial fibrillation (atrial kick is required). An S3 heart sound cannot be present in the setting of severe mitral stenosis. An S3 heart sound can be present ...
Table 3 provides typical characteristics of common murmurs. The tricuspid stenosis murmur is diastolic and a soft rumble, heard best at the left lower sternal border. It will increase in intensity ...
We have had the opportunity of studying 17 patients and wish to add our findings to the scant literature on this benign cardiac malformation. We emphasize the fact that this anomaly is more common ...
Right ventricular hypertrophy Ventricular septal defect Overriding aorta (aorta displaced to the right, near the VSD) Pulmonic valve stenosis (right ventricular outflow tract obstruction) This results ...
Changes in a murmur with respiration (inhalation) can help distinguish a right-sided murmur from its corresponding left-sided murmur. All right-sided murmurs increase with inspiration (Carvallo sign).
