Question

Which condition would cause a diastolic murmur?

	A	regurgitation of blood through an incompetent tricuspid valve
	B	regurgitation of blood through an incompetent mitral valve
	C	regurgitation of blood through an incompetent aortic semilunar valve

Expert Solution

Step 1

Diastolic murmur refers to the sound that occurs for some period during diastole. The diastolic murmur suggests that there is some variation in the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular structure.

Step 2

The condition that causes diastolic murmur is aortic semilunar valve regurgitation. It is the condition when the aortic semilunar valve is not able to close tightly, results inthe blood get leak back into the left ventricle again; this causes a diastolic murmur.

Hence the correct option is C.
