Overview

The blowing holosystolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation must be distinguished from the murmur of mitral regurgitation and a ventricular septal defect.

  • The holosystolic murmur can be best heard over the left third and fourth intercostal spaces and along the sternal border.
  • When the shunt becomes reversed (Eisenmenger's syndrome), the murmur may be absent and S2 can become markedly accentuated and single.
