Which of the following is seen in mitral stenosis?
High-Yield Explanation
Mitral Stenosis is associated with: - Loud S1 - Opening Snap - Mid Diastolic murmur The first hea sound (S1) is usually accentuated and slightly delayed. The pulmonic component of the second hea sound (P2) also is often accentuated, and the two components of the second hea sound (S2) are closely split. The opening snap (OS) of the mitral valve is most readily audible in expiration The OS is followed by a low-pitched, rumbling, diastolic murmur, heard best at the apex with the patient in the left lateral recumbent position In general, the duration of this murmur correlates with the severity of the stenosis in patients with preserved cardiac output.
