Which of the following is not a clinical sign associated with mitral stenosis?

A
Malar flush
B
Atrial fibrillation
C
Pan-systolic murmur which radiates to axilla
D
Tapping, undisplaced apex beat
High-Yield Explanation
Malar flush, atrial fibrillation, and a tapping apex beat which occurs secondary to pulmonary hypertension, are all clinical signs associated with mitral stenosis. On auscultation of the precordium, a mid- diastolic murmur (±opening snap, representing a mobile valve) is heard rather than a pan-systolic murmur which is usually heard in mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation and ventricular septal defects.
