Since the L ventricle has a higher pressure than the R ventricle, flow during systole occurs from the L to R ventricle, producing the holosystolic murmur. It can be best heard over the left third and fourth intercostal spaces and along the sternal border. It is associated with normal pulmonary artery pressure and thus S2 is normal.
One can hear it at the left lower sternal border. One may see signs of right heart failure on exam. Pulmonary valve regurgitation presents as a diastolic decrescendo murmur. One may hear it at the left lower sternal border. A palpable S2 in the second left intercostal space correlates with pulmonary hypertension due to mitral stenosis.
Systolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation = Holosystolic or early systolic murmur along the lower left sternal border depending on the severity of the regurgitation; Right atrial hypertrophy; Right ventricular conduction defects; Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome often accompanies
A left-sided S3 is best heard in the left lateral decubitus position and at the apex of the heart, which is normally located in the 5th left intercostal space at the midclavicular line. A right-sided S3 is best heard at the lower left sternal border.
The murmur is heard best with the bell of the stethoscope [16] lying on the left side [15] and its duration increases with worsening disease. [16] Advanced disease may present with signs of right-sided heart failure such as parasternal heave , jugular venous distension , hepatomegaly , ascites and/or pulmonary hypertension (presenting with a ...
Also, that blood flowing through a VSD can be heard as a holosystolic murmur at the lower left sternal border. If it’s a small VSD, it might be asymptomatic. As the size of the VSD increases, though, symptoms tend to get more severe and present earlier on in life.
“They told us as soon as they gave us the diagnosis that pretty much the only course of treatment would be to get a hemispherectomy, which is a surgery to remove the left side of the brain ...
Pansystolic (Holosystolic) murmur along lower left sternal border (depending upon the size of the defect) +/- palpable thrill (palpable turbulence of blood flow). Heart sounds are normal. Larger VSDs may cause a parasternal heave, a displaced apex beat (the palpable heartbeat moves laterally over time, as the heart enlarges).
