Aortic Sclerosis - Auscultation Lesson
This aortic sclerosis murmur is fairly loud, heard early in systole. When viewing the waveform, notice the diamond-shaped appearance. Regular vibrations of this murmur provide a musical quality (cooing).
It is caused by turbulent blood flow into the aorta. Diastole is silent and S1 and S2 are normal.
