The murmur of AS is characteristically an ejection (mid) systolic murmur that commences sholy after the S 1 , increases in intensity to reach a peak toward the middle of ejection, and ends just before aoic valve closure . It is characteristically low-pitched, rough and rasping in character, and loudest at the base of the hea, most commonly in the second right intercostal space.
