A member asked:
Can mitral valve's sound be heard in mid upper side of the chest? i hear a thick sound at s1 and i think it's aortic abnormal sound.

Mitral valve murmur: is usually a blowing sound heard best at about the nipple line just left of the sternum and radiates to the left side. It is difficult to say what you are hearing, and the best thing would be to have an exam by your family doctor or a cardiologist if this is concerning to you or you are having symptoms. What you are hearing may be a normal sound.

Why is aortic valve sound heard much easier than mitral valve using stethoscope?
In my Echocardiogram in mid-May it said 'Trivial regurgitation in mitral valve but no evidence of stenosis'. In the cardiac MRI done at the end of June it said 'Interatrial septum is mildly aneurysmal, bulging to the right'. Are these connected?
