Hi,
Can someone please explain the answer to this question:
50 yr old man with hx of poorly controlled htn. BP L arm- 226/120 and BP R arm-218/118. Patient in left lateral decubitus position, and a late diastolic murmur is heard best with bell at the apex. What best explains this findings.
I thought answer was mitral stenosis. But I think answer is aortic insufficiency.
Someone please break it down for me 
Thanks!

I also got confused by this question. The Question clearly asks for a Late Diastolic SOUND not a Murmur which i took as an Austin Flint Murmur of AI. But the questions for a sound which is S4 option I cos the pt is of HTN and a late diastolic sound best heard at the apex in the Lateral decubitus position is S4.
