Q

Bicuspid aortic valve. in youger, feature and auscultation

A

This results in isolated aortic regurgitation (this leads to early decrescendo diastolic murmur which begins immediately after A2 which is best heard with the diaphragm of the stethoscope along the left sternal border at the 3rd and 4th intercostal spaces while the patient is sitting up, leaning forward, and holding a breath in full expiration)
