physical exam findings in mitral stenosis -
....ANSWER...opening snap may be heard in early diastole
rales may be heard on auscultation due to accumulation of
intra-alveolar fluid
mitral regurgitation - ....ANSWER...condition in which the
mitral valve does not close tightly, allowing blood to flow
backward into the left atrium
physical findings of mitral regurgitation -
