Base and apex phonocardiograms recorded simultaneously with the aortic valve echocardiogram in a young man with valvular aortic stenosis. A prominent aortic valvular ejection sound (AVES) is recorded at the apex and coincident with the maximum excursion of the aortic valve in early systole. It is followed by a crescendo-decrescendo systole ejection murmur(SEM) that ends well before a loud A2.
