  A typical grade 3/6 pansystolic murmur was heard at the apex with radiation to the axillae. [medcraveonline.com]

  Auscultation reveals a pansystolic murmur at the apex. Acute MR due to papillary muscle rupture should be considered in patients presenting with acute pulmonary oedema or shock following an acute myocardial infarction. [patient.info]

  Regurgitant fractions less than 30% of total stroke volume are mildly symptomatic, 30–60% is moderate, and fractions greater than 60% cause severe disease. [openanesthesia.org]

  Palpitations by atrial fibrillation, which can cause embolism, such as a stroke. Treatment The valve can be opened by balloon angioplasty or surgically treated by valve replacement. Click here for mitral stenosis quantification. [echopedia.org]

  This causes the stroke volume to decrease and the cardiac output to decrease 1,2. This volume overload eventually causes a drop in forward cardiac output 1,2. [radiopaedia.org]

In a pathophysiological sense, acute mitral regurgitation is an emergency because of the normal compliance of the left atrium. In chronic mitral regurgitation the left atrium dilates to facilitate a higher volume. [clinicalpainadvisor.com]
