Description at: https://johnsonfrancis.org/profession... (Indexed on Google Scholar) Mechanisms of Austin Flint murmur in aortic regurgitation – following are the proposed mechanisms for the mid diastolic murmur in mitral area in severe aortic regurgitation: • 1. Fluttering of the anterior mitral leaflet due to the regurgitant jet impinging on it • 2. Jet can produce relative narrowing of the mitral orifice • 3. Elevation of left ventricular diastolic pressure causes the mitral valve to float back to a partially closed position • 4. Diastolic mitral regurgitation due to elevated left ventricular diastolic pressure
