One can best hear it at the left lower sternal border. Valsalva maneuver will increase the intensity of the murmur. Going from squatting to standing will also increase the intensity of the murmur. Atrial septal defect will present with a systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur. It is best heard at the left upper sternal border.
A Coronary artery bypass surgery can eliminate the murmur. Early diastolic Cabot–Locke murmur: This murmur sounds similar to aortic insufficiency, but does not have a decrescendo. It is often heard in untreated anemia, and is best heard at the left sternal border.
Any maneuver that increases left ventricular volume — such as squatting, elevation of legs, hand grip, and phenylephrine — can delay the onset of clicks, shorten murmur duration, and increase murmur intensity. Late systolic Tricuspid valve prolapse Uncommon without concomitant mitral valve prolapse. Best heard over left lower sternal border.
A pansystolic heart murmur may be heard on auscultation of the chest. The murmur is usually of low frequency and best heard on the lower left sternal border. It increases with inspiration, and decreases with expiration: this is known as Carvallo's sign. However, the murmur may be inaudible due to the relatively low pressures in the right side ...
Still's murmur is detected via auscultation with a stethoscope.It has a peculiar "musical", "resonant" or "vibratory" quality that is quite unique. [1] [2] It is generally most easily heard at the left middle or lower sternal border and the right upper sternal border, often with radiation to the carotid arteries, although other locations are common.
The murmur of chronic aortic regurgitation is typically described as early diastolic and decrescendo, which is best heard in the third left intercostal space and may radiate along the left sternal border.
The Graham Steell murmur of pulmonary regurgitation, a high-pitched, diastolic, decrescendo blowing murmur along the left sternal border, results from dilation of the pulmonary valve ring and occurs in patients with mitral valve disease and severe pulmonary hypertension.
A Graham Steell murmur is a heart murmur typically associated with pulmonary regurgitation. [1] [2] It is a high pitched early diastolic murmur heard best at the left sternal edge in the second intercostal space with the patient in full inspiration, originally described in 1888. [citation needed]
