If the mitral valve were insufficient, would you expect to hear the murmur(of blood flowing through the valve that should be closed) during ventricular systole or diastole?

Solution

Answer:

Yes, if the mitral valve were insufficient, it would be expected to hear the murmur during \"ventricular systole\" and this phenomenon is also known as \"mitral insufficiency\" because of blood flow through the mitral valve located from the left atrium to the left ventricle is reduced so that abnormal sound can be heard. Heart murmur is mainly due to obstruction to the blood flow inside the heart and it occurs when heart valves failed to open or close properly due to mitral valve insufficiency
