Abstract: | Two cases of pulmonary valve regurgitation secondary to right-sided staphylococcal endocarditis in heroin addicts are oresented, and the characteristic features of the diastolic murmur are described. Intracardiac phonocardiography localizes the murmur at the pulmonary valve and is the simplest, most reliable method for documentation of the lesion. |
