Late systolic murmurs start after S1 and, if left sided, extend up to S2, usually in a crescendo manner. Causes include mitral valve prolapse, tricuspid valve prolapse and papillary muscle dysfunction. Holosystolic (pansystolic) murmurs start at S1 and extend up to S2. They are usually due to regurgitation in cases such as mitral regurgitation ...
Timing refers to whether the murmur is a systolic, diastolic, or continuous murmur. Shape refers to the intensity over time. Murmurs can be crescendo, decrescendo or crescendo-decrescendo. Crescendo murmurs increase in intensity over time. Decrescendo murmurs decrease in intensity over time. Crescendo-decrescendo murmurs have both shapes over time.
Patients with mitral valve prolapse may have a mid-systolic click along with a murmur, referred to as apical late systolic murmur. [3] Early systolic clicks may also be present in some patients. [4] Aortic and pulmonary stenosis may cause an ejection click [5] immediately after S 1.
The murmur heard in HCM (or HOCM, if obstructive) is a systolic ejection crescendo-decrescendo murmur. The intensity of this murmur can vary based on the degree of obstruction. This murmur can also change in intensity based on different maneuvers that can be accomplished with the body.
The eponym is from researcher Samuel A. Levine who studied the significance of systolic heart murmurs. [1] The grading gives a number to the intensity from 1 to 6: [2] [3] The palpable murmur is known as thrill, which can be felt on grade 4 or higher. The murmur is only audible on listening carefully for some time.

Heart murmurs are most frequently organized by timing, into systolic heart murmurs and diastolic heart murmurs. However, continuous murmurs can not be directly placed into either category. [1] These murmurs are due to blood flow from a high pressure chamber or vessel to a lower pressure system. Patent ductus arteriosus. Patent ductus arteriosus ...
Phonocardiograms of common murmurs. A phonocardiogram (or PCG) is a plot of high-fidelity recording of the sounds and murmurs made by the heart with the help of the machine called the phonocardiograph; thus, phonocardiography is the recording of all the sounds made by the heart during a cardiac cycle.
