Murmur grading https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/485985 Murmur Sumber: Healio Murmurs are described by their timing in the cardiac cycle, intensity, shape, pitch, location, radiation and response to dynamic maneuvers. Using the aforementioned criteria, a clinician can accurately characterize the nature of a murmur and communicate their findings in a precise manner. Timing The timing of a murmur is crucial to accurate diagnosis. A murmur is either systolic, diastolic or continuous throughout systole and diastole. Remember: Systole occurs between the S1 and S2 heart sounds, while diastole occurs between S2 and S1. With the knowledge of the possible cardiovascular conditions that cause systolic or diastolic murmurs, the clinician can narrow their differential diagnosis. Thus, it is important to remember which lesions result in systolic murmurs and which result in diastolic murmurs. Stenosis of the aortic or pulmonic ...
