You are incorrect - the best description of the acoustic events at the upper right sternal edge is a continuous murmur louder in diastole.


Your choice: Systolic + early diastolic

This is a graphic example of a systolic murmur and an early diastolic murmur. This combination of murmurs can be misinterpreted as a continuous murmur. The observer must try to identify clearly both S2 and the brief silent interval between the two murmurs.
