ALTHOUGH Fauvel,1 in 1843, attributed the apical presystolic murmur to stenosis of the mitral valve, Duroziez's2 description — "ffout-tata-rou" — in 1862 has been considered as the classic ...

If a separate basal murmur was present or if the murmur was louder at the base than at the apex, the case was not included. On the other hand, all apical systolic murmurs are included, even those ...

The murmur is actually due to MR that accompanies the mitral valve prolapse; thus, it is heard best at the cardiac apex. Mitral valve prolapse responds to dynamic auscultation. Enlarge ...

The murmur is actually due to mitral regurgitation that accompanies the mitral valve prolapse, thus it is heard best at the cardiac apex. Mitral valve prolapse responds to dynamic auscultation ...

The aortic stenosis murmur may become purer and musical as one listens toward the apex (Gallavardin phenomenon). It is important to appreciate this so you do not mistakenly diagnose a nonexistent ...

An additional late diastolic murmur loudest at the apex (Austin Flint murmur) suggests aortic regurgitation. A swishing sound can be heard over the femoral artery in aortic insufficiency (Duroziez ...
