Austin Flint MurmurIn cardiology, an Austin Flint murmur is detected in cases of severe aortic regurgitation. The blood jets from the aortic regurgitation strike the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. This leads to a mid-diastolic, low-pitched rumbling best heard at the cardiac apex. Surgical valve replacement may be necessary to correct the abnormality if symptomatic. It is named after the 19th century American physician Austin Flint (1812–1886) External links
