With the advent of newer, non-invasive imaging techniques, the origin of other, so-called adventitial sounds or heart clicks has been appreciated. These are short, high-pitched sounds.

  • The atrioventricular valves of patients with mitral stenosis may open with an opening snap on the beginning of diastole.
  • Patients with mitral valve prolapse may have a mid-systolic click along with a murmur, referred to as Apical Late Systolic Murmur.
  • Aortic and pulmonary stenosis may cause an ejection click immediately after S1.
