2nd right intercostal space -> neck

What is aortic stenosis

100

What is the physiology of the Valsalva maneuver?

What is increasing intrathoracic pressure (reduces LV size-> decreases venous return to R heart-> L heart)

100

Pansystolic, blowing

What is mitral regurgitation 

100

Name the murmur and condition:

A young woman presents for monocular vision loss. She previously treated for a condition with a malar rash, photosensitivity, pericarditis, and multiple pregnancy losses. A 2/6 holosystolic murmur is heard at the apex with radiation toward the axilla.

What is Libman-Sacks endocarditis and mitral regurgitation

200

Apex-> left axilla

What is mitral regurgitation (or prolapse)

200

Name 2 murmurs that decrease with Valsalva.

What are aortic stenosis; tricuspid regurgitation; or tricuspid stenosis

200

Harsh, crescendo-decrescendo,. As pathology progresses, the murmur will peak later in diastole.

What is aortic stenosis

300

2nd and 3rd left intercostal space-> if loud will radiate towards left shoulder and neck

What is pulmonic stenosis

300

Name 2 murmurs that increase with Valsalva.

What are hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and mitral valve prolapse

300
Continuous, machine-like

What is a patent ductus arteriosus.

400

3rd or 4th lefter intercostal space-> down left sternal boarder to apex, not to the neck

What is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

400

This murmur increases with Valsalva but decreases with squatting and isometric hand grip

What is hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or mitral valve prolapse

400

Blowing, decrescendo after S2. Often mistaken for breath sounds.

What is aortic regurgitation.

500

3rd, 4th, and 5th left intercostal space that radiates widely. Often with a palpable thrill.

What is a VSD

500

Blowing, holosystolic murmur that increases in intensity with inspiration

What is tricuspid regurgitation 

500

A loud, crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur with widely split S2

What is pulmonic stenosis
