Aortic Regurgitation Case Study: 1  S1 S.Mur S2 dias.mur S1 S2 Weak Systolic Murmur and Prolonged Diastolic Murmur Diastolic Murmur is clearly visible on the Bell-filtered Phonocardiogram
 Diastolic Murmur Frequency Spectrum
 Systolic Murmur Frequency Spectrum
 S1 S2 Energy Signature of One Heart Beat - Murmurs are weak and almost invisible
Systolic Murmur has Intensity =8.26%; Duration 89.17%; Frequency Score 57.87Hz and half-bandwidth of 1.35 Hz (low frequency musical); Grade 1. Diastolic Murmur (our main interest here) has Intensity 9.48%, Duration 137.5 %; Frequency Score 92.8Hz and half-bandwidth 36.34; also Grade 1 murmur.

CONCLUSIONS: Diastolic Murmur of is immediately visible on the Phonocardiogram, systolic murmur is also visible. Diastolic murmur is prolonged (137% of S1-S2 distance) and weak (9.5% intensity, Grade 1). Heart Energy signature around S2 heart sound demonstrates both murmurs and their characteristic frequencies. S1 is split. Heart Sound was taken from the Ears On Auscultation Program and Database, www.corsonics.com (D.L. Roy, MD; B. Holt) |
