Pulmonic Stenosis

This phonocardiogram recorded over the left third intercostal space shows a crescendo- decrescendo systolic murmur. The pulmonary component (P2) of the second heart sound is delayed. The aortic component (A2) is obscured by the murmur. The lead II electrocardiogram has large S waves indicative of right ventricular hypertrophy.
