In particular, this diastolic murmur has been described in patients with: (a) hyperthyroidism; (b) congenital heart disease, especially septal defects; (c) mitral insufficiency and no appreciable stenosis; (d) aortic insufficiency; (e) hypertensive or coronary heart disease; (f) adhesive pericarditis.With a few exceptions, to be quoted later, the above studies were based upon clinical auscultation. For this reason we thought it interesting to start a...Bibliography1. Flint A: On cardiac murmurs, Am. J. M. Sc. 44: 29, 1862. Google Scholar2.
