What kind of murmur is aortic regurgitation?

Answer 5

Diastolic murmur

Question 6

What are characteristics of Wiggers for aortic valve stenosis?

Answer 6

LVP is higher than AoP during ventricular ejection

Question 7

What are characteristics of Wiggers for aortic valve regurgitation?

Answer 7

Aortic systolic pressure increases

Aortic diastolic pressure decreases

PP increases

LAP increases

What are characteristics of Wiggers for mitral valve stenosis?

Answer 8

During ventricular filling (diastole), LAP&raquo_space; LVP

Question 9

What are characteristics of Wiggers for mitral valve regurgitation?

Answer 9

LAP increases

Particularly v wave
