Aortic Regurgitation
The location at which this murmur is best heard
LSB 3rd/4th ICS (Erb's point)
This murmur is best heard at the right 2nd intercostal space and radiates to this location.
Radiating to the carotids
The murmur is best heard at this location and radiates to this area.
Best heard at the apex (5th ICS, L midclavicular line), radiating to the left axilla
This murmur is best heard at the cardiac apex with the patient in this position.
Left lateral decubitus position
The murmur is best heard at the left lower sternal border (LLSB) and increases with this physiologic maneuver.
Increases with inspiration
The murmur occurs during this phase of the cardiac cycle and has this characteristic sound pattern.
Early diastolic, decrescendo murmur
The murmur occurs during this cardiac phase and has this characteristic shape.
Systolic, crescendo–decrescendo murmur
The murmur occurs during this phase and has this characteristic quality.
Holosystolic murmur
The murmur occurs during this phase and has these distinguishing sounds.
Diastolic murmur with an opening snap followed by a low-pitched rumble
The murmur occurs during this cardiac phase.
Holosystolic murmur
This peripheral physical finding is due to the widened pulse pressure caused by chronic aortic regurgitation.
What is bounding (“water hammer”) pulse or Corrigan pulse?
The classic triad for the clinical symptoms of severe aortic stenosis.
Angina, syncope, and dyspnea
In chronic compensated mitral regurgitation, the left ventricle adapts to the increased volume load by adding new sarcomeres in series, resulting in this type of ventricular remodeling.
Eccentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle
On echocardiography, rheumatic involvement of the mitral valve causes doming of the anterior leaflet due to commissural fusion, creating a distinctive appearance resembling this piece of sports equipment.
Hockey stick sign
The most common cause of secondary (functional) tricuspid regurgitation is this condition.
Right ventricular dilation due to pulmonary hypertension or left heart failure
