Posted this yesterday, but wanted to see if anyone else might know...
HEART: Regular rhythm without murmurs or gallops. 2 clicks heard at the apex.
(or 2: Clicks heard at the apex?)
He says "2" like number 2, as if he dictated number 1- which he obviously didn't. Is there such a thing as 2 clicks heard at the apex??
Maybe this will help.
Mitral prolapse
Mitral prolapse generates a midsystolic to late-systolic click with a high-pitched late-systolic crescendo murmur, best heard at the apex. Occasionally, multiple clicks may be heard, with or without a systolic murmur. Associated findings include cardiac awareness, migraine headaches, dizziness, weakness, syncope, palpitations, chest pain, dyspnea, severe episodic fatigue, mood swings, and anxiety.
