Aortic stenosis murmur location
Aortic stenosis murmur location
Heard at the aortic area during the systolic phase of the heartbeat, often associated with narrowed aortic valve.
Tricuspid regurgitation murmur location
Tricuspid regurgitation murmur location
Heard at the tricuspid area during the systolic phase and caused by leaking tricuspid valve.
Mitral regurgitation murmur location
Mitral regurgitation murmur location
Heard at the mitral area during a systolic heartbeat; indicates leakage in the mitral valve.
Aortic regurgitation murmur location

What does a murmur at the mitral area during systole indicate?
What does a murmur at the mitral area during systole indicate?
A murmur at the mitral area during systole suggests mitral regurgitation. This means the mitral valve is not closing properly, allowing blood to flow back into the left atrium during ventricular contraction.

Systolic Murmur Location
Systolic Murmur Location
A systolic murmur is heard during the contraction phase of the heart (between heartbeats). The location of the murmur can help pinpoint the affected heart valve.

Diastolic Murmur Location
Diastolic Murmur Location
A diastolic murmur is heard during the relaxation phase of the heart (between heartbeats). It indicates a valve problem during the heart's 'rest' period.

What causes a murmur at the aortic area?
What causes a murmur at the aortic area?
Aortic stenosis, a narrowed aortic valve, can cause a murmur at the aortic area during the systolic phase of the heartbeat. Other potential causes include flow murmurs, which are often harmless, and aortic valve sclerosis.
