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 ...

Murmurs are characterized by their grade, pitch, timing in the cardiac cycle, change in intensity, quality, location heard best, and radiation. Systolic murmurs. Almost all systolic murmurs begin in ...

The cause of this murmur has been the subject of much speculation. A glance at the various explanations 9–20 and comments regarding the Flint murmur (Table 1) demonstrates that the etiology remains ...

The intensity of the murmur typically increases as disease progresses, however when heart failure develops and cardiac output declines, the murmur becomes softer. Thus the intensity of the murmur is ...

A heart murmur is an extra sound that can occur between heartbeats as blood moves through the heart. In babies, it is usually not a cause for concern. Sometimes, however, it can indicate an underlying ...

An aortic stenosis murmur is an unusual sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. The narrowed heart valve restricts blood flow from the heart, which can create a murmur.

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 ...
