Question 5/28
What is the Graham Steele murmur?
The Graham Steele murmur is the murmur of pulmonic valve regurgitation. Pulmonic regurgitation produces a murmur that is often indistinguishable from that of aortic valve regurgitation.
Pulmonic valve regurgitation produces a soft, high-pitched, early diastolic decrescendo murmur heard best at the pulmonic listening post (left-upper sternal border). The murmur of pulmonic regurgitation increases in intensity during inspiration, unlike that of aortic regurgitation.
