You are incorrect - the best description of the acoustic events at the apex in our patient is a holosystolic decrescendo murmur with a third and a fourth heart sound.


Your choice: Holosystolic murmur, S3

This is a graphic example of a holosystolic, plateau shaped murmur and a third heart sound. Note that the systolic murmur is high frequency and the third heart sound is low frequency.
