  On auscultation of the heart, an early, decrescendo, systolic murmur at the cardiac apex is heard; the murmur decreases with Valsalva maneuver, and increases with the grip maneuver, radiating to the axilla. [usmleforum.com]

• Heart Murmur

  Overview In most cases MVP is completely asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally due to auscultation of a characteristic "Mid-systolic Click" followed by a late systolic heart murmur. [pathwaymedicine.org]

  He or she listens to your heart sounds with a stethoscope. Mitral valve regurgitation produces a distinct heart murmur. The murmur is the sound of blood leaking backward through the mitral valve. [knowyourdisease.com]

Pathophysiology Chordae anchor valve cusps to papillary muscles. Degenerative change → rupture → valvular incompetence → clinical signs of heart failure. Spontaneous rupture often occurs in horses with no obvious predisposing cause. [vetstream.com]

The tendinous chords pull the flaps or cusps of the valves and prevent them from swinging back into the upper chamber of the heart. [knowyourbody.net]

The chordae tendineae prevent the eversion, prolapse, by becoming tense thus pulling the flaps, holding them in closed position. [1] Additional images [ edit ] Papillary muscles and chordae tendineae Ultrasound showing redundant chordae tendineae [2] [en.wikipedia.org]
