Name that murmur

Question 1

diastolic decrescendo blowing murmur

Answer 1

Aortic regurgitation

Question 2

continuous machine like murmur throughout both systole and diastole

Answer 2

Patent ductus arteriosus

Question 3

crescendo-decrescendo murmur over 2nd right intercostal space, radiating into the neck. Squatting increases the intensity of aortic stenosis because of an increase in stroke volume.

Answer 3

Aortic stenosis

Question 4

holosystolic murmur

Answer 4

Mitral regurgitation

Question 5

opening snap with a mid-diastolic rumble. The intensity of the murmur is increased in the left lateral decubitus position

Answer 5

Mitral stenosis

Question 6

mid-systolic ejection click followed by a mid-to-late systolic murmur. Squatting increases left ventricular volume, decreasing prolapse and therefore decreasing the intensity of the murmur.

Answer 6

Mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation

Question 7

harsh systolic murmur that radiates to the apex and the base. Squatting increases left ventricular volume, decreasing outflow obstruction and therefore decreasing the intensity of the murmur.

Answer 7

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Question 8

pansystolic murmur best heard at the left sternal border. The murmur is increased with inspiration (Carvallo sign)

Answer 8

Tricuspid regurgitation
