Description

Location

  • Aortic valve: second intercostal space at the right sternal border
  • Pulmonary valve: second intercostal space at the left sternal border
  • Tricuspid valve: fourth intercostal space at the left sternal border
  • Mitral valve: fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line
  • Radiation: Murmurs may radiate, allowing auscultation at remote locations

Intensity

Grade Description
Grade 1 Faintest sound that can be detected
Grade 2 Soft murmur that is readily detectable
Grade 3 Louder than grade 2 but not associated with a palpable thrill
Grade 4 Associated with a palpable thrill
Grade 5 Audible with stethoscope placed lightly on the chest
Grade 6 Audible with stethoscope off the chest

Quality

  • High or low frequency
  • Blowing, harsh, musical, rumbling, squeaky

Profile

  • Crescendo, decrescendo, crescendo-decrescendo, or plateau

Timing

  • Systolic, diastolic
  • Early, mid, or late
  • Holosystolic
