Aortic regurgitation results in regurgitation of blood from the aorta back into the left ventricle during diastole. This results in increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume.
Character: Early diastolic (sounds like a breath)
Best heard: upper right sternal edge (or lower left sternal edge sitting forwards); loudest on expiration
Radiation: none
Symptoms:
Fatigue
SOB
Signs:
Collapsing pulse
Wide pulse pressure
Displaced thrusting apex
Backflow signs:
Corriganβs (visible carotid pulsation)
de Mussetβs (head-nodding pulse)
Quincke’s (red-coloured pulsation in nails)
Β±Austin Flint murmur (apical diastolic rumble)
Causes of… Aortic regurgitation
Acute causes
Infective endocarditis
Aortic dissection
Chronic causes
Rheumatic heart disease
Bicuspid aortic valve
Aortic root dilatation
Connective tissue disorders (e.g. Marfan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, EhlersβDanlos syndrome) – may also cause aortic root dilatation
Mitral stenosis
Mitral stenosis causes increased resistance between left atrium and left ventricle. This results in high left atrial pressure and subsequent pulmonary hypertension.
Character: low rumbling mid-diastolic with opening snap
Best heard: apex in left lateral position; loudest on expiration using bell of stethoscope
Radiation: none
Symptoms:
Dyspnoea
Haemoptysis
Chest pain
Fatigue
Signs:
AF
Malar flush
Tapping apex
Loud S1
Signs of pulmonary hypertension (RV heave, loud P2)
Causes of… Mitral stenosis
Rheumatic heart disease
Others causes rare (e.g. congenital, carcinoid)
