Possible Causes

Mitral Valve Stenosis

Opening Snap Opening of the stenotic mitral valve generates an audible "Opening Snap" immediately after S2, likely due to tensing of the thickened chordae tendineae. [pathwaymedicine.org]

[…] rumbling murmur with presystolic accentuation will be heard after the opening snap.[3][11] The murmur is best heard at the apical region and is not radiated. [en.wikipedia.org]

The intensity of the Opening Snap is thought to correlate with the degree of mitral stenosis. [pathwaymedicine.org]

Heart sounds: May be features of mitral stenosis (loud first heart sound, opening snap and a mitral early-mid diastolic murmur) but these are variable. [patient.info]

Heart sounds Loud first heart sound, opening snap, and a mitral early-to-mid diastolic murmur are the classic auscultatory findings of mitral stenosis and are variably present [checkorphan.org]

S3 Gallop

The S3 can also be confused with a widely split S2, or a mitral opening snap, but these sounds are typically of much higher pitch and occur closer to the onset of S2. [popflock.com]

An opening snap may occur in early diastole in mitral stenosis or, rarely, in tricuspid stenosis. [merckmanuals.com]

Mitral opening snap is very high pitched, brief, and heard best with the diaphragm of the stethoscope. [merckmanuals.com]
