BECAUSE of the great interest currently demonstrated in the surgical correction of mitral stenosis, it has become essential for the clinician to be able to diagnose this condition with the greatest ...

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 ...

Diastolic murmurs include aortic and pulmonic regurgitation (early diastolic), and mitral or tricuspid stenosis (mid-late diastolic). Tricuspid stenosis is very rare and is discussed further in the ...

IN 1888 Graham Steell described his now famous left-sternal-border diastolic murmur and attributed its origin to pulmonary regurgitation caused by high pressure in the pulmonary artery in patients ...

Disease of the cardiac valves and other cardiac structures frequently results in abnormal, turbulent blood flow within the heart, causing murmurs. Careful auscultation of heart murmurs is an extremely ...

Heart auscultation by primary care providers detected heart murmurs in nearly 1 in 4 individuals in a Norwegian population. While murmurs were particularly useful for detecting aortic stenosis, their ...
