Aortic Stenosis
  • Age-related calcification in the elderly
  • Bicuspid aortic valve in the young
    • leads to early calcification of the valve
  • Chest pain
  • Dyspnea on exertion
  • Palpitations
  • Symptoms of heart failure


Systolic murmur

  • crescendo-decrescendo murmur
    • radiates to the carotids
    • heard best at the base
Aortic Regurgitation
  • Aortic root dilatation
  • Bicuspid aortic valve
  • Endocarditis
  • Rheumatic fever
  • Diastolic murmur
    • early diastolic decrescendo murmur
    • Austin Flint murmur
      • apical diastolic rumbling
  • Maneuvers
    • ↑ murmur intensity
      • hand grip
      • rapid squatting
Mitral Stenosis
  • Rheumatic fever


Diastolic murmur

  • open snap (OS) and delayed rumbling mid-to-late diastolic murmur
    • the time between A2 and OS is inversely correlated with severity
Mitral Regurgitation
  • Rheumatic fever
  • Endocarditis
  • Post-myocardial infarction
    • rupture of the chordae or papillary muscles  
  • Left ventricular dilatation
  • Symptoms of heart failure in severe cases
  • Holosystolic murmur
    • high-pitched and radiates towards the axilla
    • heard best at the apex
  • Maneuvers
    • ↑ murmur intensity
      • hand grip
      • rapid squatting
