I hate murmurs

Match the following

1. Aortic stenosis

2. Aortic Regurgitation

3. Mitral Stenosis

4. Mitral Regurgitation

a. holosystolic murmur at the apex that radiates to the axilla

b. Mid-diastolic rumble at apex; opening snap following S2

c. Blowing, decrescendo diastolic murmur at cardiac base; pistol shot pulses; wide pulse pressure ( low diastolic bp)

d. crescendo-decrescendo mid systolic murmur at cardiac base that radiates to the neck; weak and delayed pulses (pulsus tardus et parvus)

they are difficult if you are memorizing them and getting easier if you can imagine pathophysiology.

1d, 2c, 3b, 4a. At least I know this, although in practice is much much harder to identify them.

same answer, want to add,
murmur of mitral stenosis...that is mid diast rumbling...the intensity increases when patient is asked to lean forward...

murmur of AS also called as diamond shape as it is cresendo decresendo type...

and at last opening snap in MS is more close to S1 than S2...i mean it is better to say that OS occours just before S1, one can easily understand it if he knows the phys of OS.
distance between OS and S2 decides the degree of stenosis.
