Acute<unk>  regurgitation (AR) is characterized by the presence of a low pitched early diastolic murmur that is best heard at the right 2nd intercostal space, decreased or absent S1, and increased P2.  Chronic AR is characterized by the presence of a high pitched holodiastolic decrescendo murmur that is best heard at the upper left sternal border and that increases with sitting forward, expiration, and handgrip. In chronic AR, a wide pulse pressure (≥ 60 mmHg), a S3, and Corrigan's pulse might be present.  An ejection systolic 'flow' murmur may also be present. The apex beat is typically displaced down and to the left. A patient with chronic AR may present with signs of congestive heart failure.
