A 35-year-old woman is admitted to the hospital with dyspnea. During physical examination her S1 heart sound is very loud. Which of the following valves is most likely defective?
The mitral valve corresponds to the S1 heart sound produced during systole. The aortic and pulmonary valves correspond to the S2 heart sound produced during diastole. The tricuspid valve also corresponds with the S1 heart sound. The aortic valve, however, corresponds with the S2 sound, so this answer would be incorrect.
Mitral valve
Aortic
Pulmonary
Aortic and pulmonary
Thorax
