A thorough knowledge of the murmurs of mitral stenosis and of the variations in these murmurs under different physiologic and pathologic conditions should be of assistance in diagnosis.

Regarding the mitral and tricuspid valves, stenosis would result in a diastolic murmur and regurgitation a systolic murmur. Other murmurs will be discussed in their respective sections below.

ALTHOUGH Fauvel, 1 in 1843, attributed the apical presystolic murmur to stenosis of the mitral valve, Duroziez's 2 description — "ffout-tata-rou" — in 1862 has been considered as the classic ...

A decrease in a systolic murmur excludes mitral or tricuspid murmur. To differentiate aortic stenosis from pulmonic stenosis, do the following: First, note the carotid upstroke compared with the PMI.
