This is a decrescendo, early systolic type murmur. Normal Heart Sounds Heart sounds are more complicated than a simple "lub-dub. The second heart sound S2 , the "dub" part of "lub-dub" is also a single sound. It, too, can be split into two distinct sounds and that may reflect underlying heart defects, or may be normal. Heart Murmurs Normally, you will not hear any heart murmurs.
Murmurs are soft, humming or buzzing sounds, occurring between the "lub" and the "dub. These are called "systolic" murmurs, occurring during cardiac systole contraction of the heart. There are also "diastolic" murmurs, occurring after one "lub-dub" and before the next "lub-dub. Murmurs are caused by turbulence in the blood flow through the heart, typically as it passes through a heart valve.
For example, a damaged aortic valve might not open wide enough aortic stenosis to allow blood to flow freely through it from the heart into the aorta during cardiac systole. The turbulent flow across the stenotic valve causes a buzzing sound, called a murmur, between the "lub" and the "dub. The presence of a heart murmur is occasionally normal such as increased flow murmurs during pregnancy , but usually indicates a cardiac abnormality. Other Heart Sounds Other heart sounds may be heard, the most common of which is the "ejection click," associated with mitral valve prolapse.

It can be a clue to how long a person has had high blood pressure, or how well has been its control. But a sustained apical impulse can also be encountered in the dilated heart of cardiomyopathy. The often quiet, low-pitched sound of the S3 lub —dub-duh is sometimes heard most easily with the patient in the left lateral decubitus position halfway rolled on left side , listening at the area of the apex beat if one can be felt , with the bell of the stethoscope held lightly.
