Q : What are the characteristics of the murmur of aortic valve stenosis that are associated with increased severity?
A : 1-A murmur peaking in early or mid systole
2-A loud murmur
Remember : The murmur may be faint in patients with hyper-inflated chest or obesity, or in congestive heart failure, despite the presence of severe stenosis.
Remember also : The murmur radiation to the neck doesn't reflect severity.
