THE CRESCENDO MURMUR OF MITRAL STENOSIS

Presystolic murmur of mitral stenosis revisited.

The apical systolic murmur in mitral stenosis.

The purpose of this work was to determine how reliable a guide an apical systolic murmur can be to the finding at mitral valvotomy of incidental mitral regurgitation complicating dominant mitral stenosis. The history of the systolic murmur in mitral stenosis is a confused one, since general agreement was not reached about the timing of systolic and diastolic murmurs in mitral stenosis for nearl...

The Austin Flint murmur: its differentiation from the murmur of rheumatic mitral stenosis.

A c'TPERclinical evaluation of patients with severe aortic insufficiency, it has become evideiit that differentiation of the Austin Flint murmur from that of imitral stenosis is possible iln the majority of cases.1-) If carefully searched for, all of our l)atients with severe aortic insufficiency have all apical diastolic ullll)le (so-called Auistin Flint murinur). By utilization of the clinica...

MITRAL STENOSIS COMPLICATED BY RENAL ARTERY EMBOLISM

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...

Murmur alternans in aortic stenosis.

Acquired aortic stenosis, when severe, often gives rise to pulsus alternans.' Other relatively common causes for pulsus alternans include hypertensive heart disease, coronary artery disease, syphilitic heart disease and cardi~myopathy.~ When pulsus alternans is present, the clinician can usually appreciate it through the use of a sphygmomanometer, in which case when the cuff is infiated to near...
