Why there is early systolic murmur in acute tricuspid regurgitation ???not holosystolic
 
#2 ·
The murmur of tricuspid regurgitation is pansystolic in some patients. But in the absence of right ventricular hypertension, even with severe tricuspid regurgitation, the murmur may be very soft or absent. As well, a diastolic flow rumble is frequently heard because of the increased diastolic flow across the tricuspid valve.
