About Video

This recording is a 40-year-old woman with mitral stenosis. This recording taken at the lower left sternal border area. This recording is in the supine position. One can hear a loud S1 followed by the S2 and the OS giving rise to the classic opening snap rhythm. Watch the interval between the S2 and the OS on the three recordings to see whether it changes much. If it does change, also determine whether it shortens or lengthens from the supine position to the standing position.
