Aortic Sclerosis (Musical Murmur) - Auscultation Lesson

Aortic sclerosis is a loud murmur that occurs early in systole. It has a diamond shaped appearance when viewed on the Waveform tab. S1 and S2 are normal. Diastole is silent. The murmur is characterized by regular vibrations which give the murmur a musical quality ("cooing"). It is caused by turbulent blood flow into the aorta. Aortic sclerosis can indicate a risk of cardiovascular events and aortic valve obstruction. Reference: National Library of Medicine.
