Holosystolic (pansystolic) Ventricular septal defect: No intensification upon inspiration. VSD is a defect in the ventricular wall, producing a shunt between the left and right ventricles. 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.
The loudness of the murmur does not correlate well with the severity of regurgitation. It may be followed by a loud, palpable P 2, [6] heard best when lying on the left side. [7] A third heart sound is commonly heard. [6] Patients with mitral valve prolapse may have a holosystolic murmur or often a mid-to-late systolic click and a late systolic ...
Harsh holosystolic (pansystolic) murmur at the left lower sternal border Classic for a ventricular septal defect (VSD). This may lead to the development of the delayed-onset cyanotic heart disease known as Eisenmenger syndrome. Eisenmenger syndrome is a reversal of the left-to-right heart shunt. This is the result of hypertrophy of the right ...
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).
Upon auscultation of an individual with mitral valve prolapse, a mid-systolic click, followed by a late systolic murmur heard best at the apex, is common. The length of the murmur signifies the time period over which blood is leaking back into the left atrium, known as regurgitation.

Medical signs of aortic regurgitation include increased pulse pressure by increased systolic and decreased diastolic blood pressure, [16] but these findings may not be significant if acute. [15] The patient may have a diastolic decrescendo murmur best heard at left sternal border, water hammer pulse , Austin Flint murmur , and a displaced apex ...
