It is a diastolic murmur which can be heard over the mid-precordium.

What is of value is hearing a diastolic murmur itself, whether or not the above signs are present.

Diastolic murmurs start at or after S2 and end before or at S1.

Timing refers to whether the murmur is a systolic or diastolic murmur.

A mid diastolic murmur can be heard during auscultation caused by the blood flow through the stenotic valve.

Presystolic accentuation of diastolic murmur disappears.

It is a high pitched early diastolic murmur heard best at the left sternal edge in the second intercostal space with the patient in full inspiration.

It consists of an audible diastolic murmur which can be heard over the femoral artery when it is compressed with the bell of a stethoscope.

The use of two simple mnemonics may help differentiate systolic and diastolic murmurs; PASS and PAID.

Duroziez's sign (systolic and diastolic murmurs heard over the femoral artery when it is gradually compressed with the stethoscope) Also, these are usually less detectable in acute cases.

It is often associated with an S gallop rhythm, and can be distinguished from the diastolic murmur of mitral stenosis by the absence of an opening snap before the murmur.

He is also credited with discovering Cabot rings, and for describing, along with his colleague, Locke, the eponymous Cabot-Locke murmur, a diastolic murmur occasionally heard in severe anemia, unrelated to heart valve abnormalities.

On auscultation, there may be a short diastolic murmur and a soft S. S is soft because the elevated filling pressures close the mitral valve in diastole (rather than the mitral valve being closed at the beginning of systole).
