Heart Murmur Diagnostic Evaluation

NP Certification Q&A

A 35-year-old woman presents for a well-woman exam. She is without complaint, with BMI=22, and reports that she runs about 28 miles per week, 4-5 miles with each run, and has excellent exercise tolerance. She states, “I am in great health.”  On physical examination, the NP notes a faint mid-systolic click followed by a grade 2/6  mid- to late-systolic murmur, best heard at the apex. No other abnormalities are noted.  These findings are most suggestive of

A. aortic stenosis
B. mitral stenosis
C. mitral regurgitation
D. mitral valve prolapse
