a) While listening to his heart with a stethoscope, you notice a high-pitched, blowing, systolic murmur, heard best directly under the left nipple. A review of Roger's medical records shows no prior history of aheart murmur. What is causing this new murmur? b) Is the cause of the murmur in any way related to his heart attack? Explain. c) While listening to his breathing with a stethoscope, you hear some wheezing and inspiratory rales("crackling noises"). Explain these findings.
