A member asked:
Hello doctors, can ventricular septal defect cause diastolic murmur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typical: The classic VSD physical finding is of course a holosystolic murmur. However, if the VSD is subarterial or supracristal, it can distort the aortic valve, sometimes causing leaflet prolapse. If this results in significant aortic insufficiency, there will be an associated diastolic murmur (with the insufficiency representing an indication for surgical repair).

I read diastolic murmurs are always pathological. Do most doctors know this? Is it common knowledge? Or might some think diastolic can be innocent?
