The image shows a holosystolic murmur.
– Holosystolic murmurs start at S1 and extend to S2, covering all of systole.
– Mitral Regurgitation (MR): Presents with a holosystolic murmur, heard best at the apex, radiating to the axilla.
– Aortic Stenosis (AS): Produces a crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur, heard at the right second intercostal space.
– Mitral Stenosis (MS): Causes a diastolic rumble, best heard at the apex in the left lateral decubitus position.
– Aortic Regurgitation (AR): Results in an early diastolic decrescendo murmur, best heard at the left third intercostal space.
