Figure 227-6  Behavior of the click (C) and murmur (M) of mitral valve prolapse with changes in loading (volume, impedance) and contractility. S1, first heart sound; S2, second heart sound. With standing (left side of figure), volume and impedance decrease, as a result of which the click and murmur move closer to...
